W211 Seat Upgrade Options?

I just purchased a US-spec '07 W211, loaded (COMAND, BiXenon, Keyless Go, etc). Unfortunately the 'base' seats with manual lumbar and power fore-aft-up-down pale in comparison to my W210 which had the multi-countour option with air bladders, etc. Is there any way to upgrade the W211 sets to include better bolsters and lumbar, or can I swap for some salvaged seats? 'Give me options!!! '

there is a pair of black amg from car-parts dot com from a 06 for $551 each, if you need an idea of swapping in the amg ones.. you would need to check and see what power is compatible or custom wire the harness.

E320CDI, CLK55, and a Smart
Mark Cummins and Steve (MBenzNL) have done the conversion. It is very labor intensive, but possible.
