Hi everyone. I was planning on picking up a new X5 this week. My current Mercedes has quite uncomfortable seats due to very firm side bolsters prompting a change. But after sitting in the new X5 multiple times I have noticed that the standard sport seats themselves have very prominent side bolsters. At times during test drives they have felt uncomfortable as well. Maybe it’s the way I am sitting in the seat but I am not a large guy, only around 165 pounds. If I keep my legs more narrow in the seat it feels fine but any lateral movement in the side bolsters do tend to dig into my thighs. In the show room they had a 2018 X5 with multi contour seats and I can say they were much more comfortable than the standard seats now in the 2019 X5.

So two questions... anyone else notice this? And does anyone know if they will ever offer the X5 without the standard “sport” seats?
