Hi All,
I'm in the process of finalizing purchase of 2013 528xi and a bit confused with the seat options. Can you please comment on the differences between standard 2013 seats and
Multi-contour seats? How bad or good the standard seats are?
If you never experianced the comfort seats, you can live without them. However, once you have them you will never go back. I would say get the comfort seats. The luxury seating adds ventilation and active seats (butt message).
The standard seats are not too bad, but the multi contour seats takes it to another level comfort wise. If you use your car for a lot of long trips, the multi contour seats are almost a must have.
I completely agree with the responses thus far. You will be fine without them but they do look and feel cheap-ish for what you would expect from this level of vehicles. But if you can swing the $2k+ upgrade...you will not regret it. :thumbup:

Personally, I have the standard seats, in cinnamon Dakota leather. While the multi-contour seats do have several more adjustments, they don't look all that different from the standard seats, and don't look at all cheap to me. Same leather on both seats. If you're referring to the Nappa upgrade, that's a whole different topic.
Comfort seats on BMWs are remarkable. Once you plant yourself on them, you will wonder how you drove anything without em. The standard seats are good, but seem uncomfortable on long drives. Although you didn't ask, but the only reasons I wouldn't get the seats are a) price wise b) the car would be used for relatively short distances, where the benefit of the seats wouldn't be fully utilized. c) plan on keeping the car after warranty (less components to fail).
I would think so, as the X5 has the new seats from the 7. So I'm guessing, with that seat platform sharing, the 6 would have the same, but I don't have a clue sorry.
The comfort seats belong on the top of the list of must haves.
They add more to the driving experience of the car than lots of other stuff.
Remember, 100% of the time using the car you use the seat.
And these are just very good.
As people have stated in these forums they are the best in the market.
So do you need them, no, you do not need a BMW remember.
If you buy a five series BMW, get them!
multicontour seat are great, but it depend on ur perspective
i d personally spend 2-3 K and upgrade to 535xi cause 528 xi is underpowered/IMO/
i would rather drive 535 w regular seat vs 528 w comfort seat
just my 2 c
The 6 brings the new design of multi contour seating, which hypothetically means that the seat design will evolve again in the near future for the next LCI models or redesigns. I haven't gotten around to testing the 6, but would imagine it would meet, or even best the current multi-contour seats
Comfort seats are one of THE BEST options you can get on a beemer. I've had them on my past 3 Beemers (& have ordered Comfort Seats + heating & cooling) on my coming 535d) & highly recommend them for comfort, support & adjustability. Also recommend the seat heating - really good for people (like me) with bad backs on a long trip.
Funny - wish I could replace my multi-contours with something that, for the money and praise, had lumbar in the arse area. Feels like I'm sitting in a hole IMO and would love to replace them.
