Can't get comfortable..

Did they mention if the seats were the 20-way comfort or the sport seats? That article crossed my radar the other day, but I haven't had a chance to read it. If I remember correctly, it was comparing the diesel versions of those three cars, so non-US spec, thus the 20-way seats aren't standard (I think ? ).

Just wondering if they had the same seats you have and therefore a similar problem.

I'll have to track that review down and give it a read.

Not yet - but my business partner collects his car on Monday - EXACTLY the same spec as mine, except he's gone for HUD rather than Nappa and aluminum over wood. I've discussed my 'issue' with him and it will be interesting to see how he gets on in his. Meanwhile I'll continue to 'fiddle' constantly in the hope I find a position that works for me.

But appreciate your empathy.

Southern6er - standard M Sport seats by the look of it.

Let me know if you can't find the article (Auto Express UK edition) and I'll try to get a version posted.

I believe this is the article you mentioned.

Sounds to me like they thought the 6 GC was the best but they couldn't give it the top place just because of the price. Remove the price from the equation, and then I think it would easily be their favorite going from their comments.

I haven't actually driven the 640i, but I just know I couldn't spend $100k on a car with the guts of a 3 Series. I can understand the 640d given the ridiculous gas prices in the UK and elsewhere, and, from what I've heard, the 640d out performs the 640i.

I kinda got off topic there lol. From the pics, it looks to me like their test car was fitted with the 20-way comfort seats...
