Question Dynamic or Multi-Countour Seats?

Which do you prefer?

It will be interesting to see what people think of the Dynamic seats, since they are fairly new to the MB lineup.

Dynamic multicontours...

the w220 and r129 had the dynamic multicontours available since 2000?...

it does sound like a good idea - I have the 'regular' mc seats and they are great - so glad I ordered them for my car!

I think the first application

is the w220 (S-class) for dynamic multicontour seats...

For the earlier inquiry about dynamic vs. standard m/c seats:


the dynamic seats will pulsate and cycle the various pneumatic bladders to create a massage effect.

The standard m/c simply keeps the bladder setting until the user changes it to deflate/inflate the individual bladders.

W211 debuts the WORLD FIRST dynamic contour seats as an option. In addition to the lumbar support and massage functions in previous MB models, the side bolster inflates / deflates based on cornering speed and lateral g force to provide additional lateral support to the driver during hard cornering. A very cool feature. See my "Bell and Whistle" post dated January 15, 2002 for more details.

MC vs Dynamic

I need to finalize my E320 order and I'm waffling between multi-contour and dynamic seats. I have multi's in my CLK and I love them. What makes it difficult is that the pricing has not been published as of yet and I can't weight the $ vs function factor.
