Sport Seats too tight?

Does anyone else have a concern that the sport seats will be to tight but me?

You can adjust those side bolsters way out. I like 'em snug, but they can be a lot looser. Go to the dealer and sit in a 3 series w/ZSP. They have the same seats. I can't imagine BMW creating identical looking and functioning seats that are less than a 1/4" narrower for the 1er Coupe.

Not for me. I didn't customize the bolster settings when test drove the 335i with sportseat but it didn't feel tight. The seats fitted well and I felt comfortable and don't remember sliding during hard corners.

but the BMW sport seats are pretty wide compared to others. I looked at the G35 but the sport seats put my thighs to sleep even with bolsters adjusted all the way out. Then I drove a 3 series with the sport seats and had no problem. They were very comforable. I have sport seats in my 98 328iC and there is no problem and the bolsters are not even adjustable on them.

Dude, my best advice is to stop wondering and go to your nearest dealership and drive a 3-series with sport seats. They are the same as the 1-series.
