Hi everyone,

I've wanted to get a C63 for some time but after a few test drives a number of years ago I could not get comfortable in the seats. I'm a little "wider" and the side bolsters were just too tight. Have they implemented adjustable side bolsters? And if yes from what year?

Thanks in advance!

 

The AMG performance seats have adjustable side bolsters. Not sure when they started, but my '09 has them.

 

Be sure to test drive or sit in the 2012 coupe seats (redesigned). They're more forgiving (smaller bolster) than the sedan seats (same as before).

 

The lower/mid side bolsters on my '09 are adjustable. However, if you are into weight training, and depending on your size, the upper portion of the side bolsters can be uncomfortable against your lats.

 

My wife is 6'1 and a runner.. with the associated runners build (not skinny, not fat), she absolutely hates the seats, while they are adjustable.. the only adjustments are filling and deflating the air bladders, you cannot adjust them bolster itself.

 

my dad is a bigger guy and doesnt feel comfortable in my sedan seats either. I suggest you look into a coupe if you want less aggressively bolstered seats. Although on the coupe, the bolsters are not adjustable like on the sedan

 

I'm skinny as hell, and I STILL feel cramped in the seats in my '09! I can't even imagine how anyone over 175 lbs can be comfortable in these things...lol

 

i'm 6'1 and athletically shaped and i fit perfectly in the where i have my 2011 seats. i love the sedan seats

 

I had the same concerns and almost didn't buy my 09 C63. I asked the dealership to let me commute with the car for a few days and after that time, I was amazed at how much you value and want these seats. After owning my car for 3 months, I can't imagine sitting in any other seat. Buy the car - you will love it!

 

I'm not skinny (6'0", 210 Lbs), but feel the seats hold me perfectly.

I was in a friends Z3 (2010), and those were way too narrow, very uncomfortable.

 

2010 + they made the seats wider on the sedans due to complaints from 2008-2009 of them being too tight. My 2008 has adjustable bolsters and lumbar.

 

Are the bolsters adjustable on the late model coupes? I'm wondering if my '15 type 507 coupe will have the adjustable bolsters (the 3 small buttons on the side of the seats)?

 

Yes....they are adjustable on my 507

 

Ok great, because I thought I read on the forum that the coupes don't have those 3 buttons on the side of the backrest… but yours does?

 

Sorry, mine is a sedan....might be different on the coupes

 

As far as I know, the coupe seats are not adjustable other than lumbar. They do not have those three buttons for adjusting the bolsters.

 

Right there with you! When I first test drove one they had them all the way closed. I had no idea they were adjustable and I almost walked away because of the seats lol. I am 6"1 240 pounds and I fit fine. I could be more comfy if I lost some wait (Which this is a great excuse to lose some pounds :P).

Really though, because of the car in a whole. You forget about the too snug of seats. Unless you are just too big for them (No offense, it's very easy to be with these things)

 

Had same concerns about C63 seats as a 6', 285# former powerlifter. Having run vipers for many years, my buddy parted with his and picked up a '09 Sedan. He's probably 5-10, 165 - the seats were a perfect fit. Bolsters were extremely tight for a big guy like me.

Wanting performance that's not so in-your-face and screams at every cop you pass, I began looking at the AMG (wolf-in-sheep's clothing) last year. Finally picked up a '13 sedan last month and have been extremely pleased with adjustability of the bolsters in the newer models. Fit/fell work fine for me!

 

my pass seat lumbar switches do not work. Is there a place where I can buy some new switches to replace the ones in the seat

 

I'd check the fuses before worrying about replacing the switches if you haven't already done that.

 

Yeah. Fuses were checked a few weeks ago

 

I'm 6'4" 260lb's (built like a linebacker), and other then my head occasionally touching the roof I am comfortable. I like how the seats hug my body, especially when I'm turning hard.

I mainly have huge arms and legs though, my midsection isn't too built. So that's probably why.

 

im 195lb and im chilling in it

 

I'm 6'2 190lb fits perfectly for me.

 

My 507 Coupe does not have adjustable side bolsters. It does have adjustable lumbar, but if you are too wide then guess you should look for another car

I am 5' 10" and about 180 Lbs and the seats fit me perfectly. Love the seats in my 507
