Does any1 here know if the "comfort seats" of the 7 series still comes with the '07 models if Perf Leather and / or ventilated seat option is checked?

I just placed my order for the 2007. I understand if you want the cooled/ventilated seats you must get the comfort seats. How do these seats differ from the others and are they similar to the sport seats.

Thanks.

Seats are perforated/ventilated, and still come with active side bolsters. The Thigh extension is a little different in shape. The leather is a little softer, likely due to the perforations. The head rest is vastly different. For one, it comes with a cushion that can wrap around the sides of your head for more comfort. It also is an active head rest, unlike the sport seats. This means that in a collision, the head rest moves forward to prevent the whiplash.

The best automobile seats I have ever sat in, IMHO. I'm sure most on the board will agree with that statement entirely.

I have to agree - just incredibly comfortable and supportive seats. I too, really like the headrest - I got used to it in my 545. Now, just about everytime I drive the car I'll tilt my head back into the 'cradle' and just relax for a bit.
