2017 GC Front Seats

Akaf1 · 12-05-2020, 10:05 PM

Have had the car for a few months now and the front seats are terribly uncomfortable. Long drives my lumbar and butt cheek/hips are killing me. I think the bottom half of the seats (part you sit on) are too narrow. Its the M sport package, not sure if the seats are different. Any suggestions? Can these be reupholstered to be more comfortable? Or swapped with another OEM seat? Never had a seat problem like this, but need to do something.

I feel this way in my wife's X1, crushes the boys from the narrow seats. If 6 seats are too narrow, well at least the food was good.

The MSport package does not affect the seats. The only seats that are truly different in the US are the ones that came standard in the 640. They are not very common because the great majority of 640 buyers upgraded to the same seats you have although some have a cheaper leather. But you can find examples if you search 640s for sale online. Anything can be reupholstered with enough money, but I'd probably get a different car before that. Maybe just try a cushion?
