With a coat on, I do not fit in e90 sport seats.

ericd · 10-13-2005, 09:30 AM

I'm glad I tried to sit in those seats with my coat on. Even with the bolsters fully deflated I don't fit in them and i had to cancel sport on my e91. What a bummer. I can't believe how tight those seats are. It was such a non-fit that I had to sit in the seat sideways. I'm 6'2" and 195lbs. FORGET IT. It wasn't even close.

Guess I have to buy 17" wheels with cash, after the fact.

thats why they made a X5.....jk

nawtyxes · 10-13-2005, 09:35 AM

thats why they made heated seats, a HVAC system, coat hangers, and bmw coat hanger hangers. jk

That's strange. I'm 6' 2" and 200 lbs and drive an E90 with ZSP, and the seats are superb for me! Love them!

magmd · 10-13-2005, 01:31 PM

Ahhh that sucks. Sorry to hear that. Well, I am sure you will enjoy your ride now...that the seats fit

thd13 · 10-13-2005, 01:35 PM

Were you wearing a thick fur coat? Those South Pole bubble jackets probably aren't too good of a fit either.

But seriously, how big of a coat were you wearing? Was it a big coat or a jacket?

NPinUK · 10-13-2005, 01:54 PM

Treadmill what are they for does any one know????????????????????????

LEDZEP · 10-13-2005, 03:16 PM

Lose some weight.

dbstang · 10-13-2005, 03:20 PM

Sport seats require some getting used too. The first time I sat in the seats I was like what the hell!! But after a few times I loved them. They secure you in the seat so well.

BTW - 5'11" 210 lbs.

Is it a big-ass down parka? Those only fit in SUVs/Trucks. You need a Patagonia fleece-lined lightweight coat. Try it!

There's nothin wrong with the power seats ;-)

Dude theres no way you are too wide for those seats...I'm 5'10 195, have a pretty wide back/shoulders and have the bolsters all the way inflated. You are by no means a "big" or "fat" guy at 195 and 6'2"-did you have like a huge coat on?

LEDZEP · 10-13-2005, 09:02 PM

You know we're just bustin' on you, right?

Can't the side bolsters be adjusted out? Thought they could on sport seats.

Wow...I'm 6 1 and 205 and lift a lot of weights and I tighten the bolsters...maybe you got the smurf package instead of the sports package??

arcrox · 10-14-2005, 12:55 AM

6'1 220, snug like a bug in a rug in my sport seats

ericd · 10-14-2005, 09:20 AM

Yeah right! Lose weight?? I don't think so. i'm a Masters swimmer and I still compete..

Anyway I was simply wearing a thin fleece coat and i do NOT fit in the seats. Nor does my friend I was with NOR the salesperson!!! He was an average large guy, not fat or stocky, just big. The salesperson said that he advises persons of 190+ to NOT get sport seats.

It wasn't even close!!!! We deflated the bolsters entirely and when laying back, my lower back is prevented from touching the lumbar surface beacuse those wings are too tight. YES they were deflated.

I would ask you guys this question: When the key is in the ignition, is it possible that the sport bolsters deflate even more? Could it be that the bolsters don't let all the air out when the key is NOT in the ignition? Today is the last day I can make changes. i better go test this. I AM bummed about not getting sport because it leaves me with the 16" donuts.

LEDZEP · 10-14-2005, 09:23 AM

So, you didn't order sport seats right? Good thing you found out first! Think how bad that would suck. I have a cousin that is 6'7" and he has to "try on" cars too, not just test drive.

ericd · 10-14-2005, 09:28 AM

If you saw me in person you would describe me as tall but not big.

I wear a 44long in a sport coat, and my pants are 35x34. I typically do not buy XXL clothes. i find that XLT is the best fit for me.

hehe

chrissal1 · 10-14-2005, 09:39 AM

Are the e90 sport seats any more restrictive that the e46 sport seats? Can anyone confirm?
