info needed on "Drive-dynamic multicontour driver seat"
I am looking forward to buy an E –Class if I feel comfortable in the driver’s seat! The deal is that I have chronic pelvic pain and not feel comfy on most cars and the firmness of cushion on the seat makes big difference for drivability, I guess my question is about “Drive-dynamic multicontour driver seat” and the way it works and the way you can adjust it, in MB website it talks about 11 pneumatic chambers that can be adjusted and adapt to your body, where are the locations of these chambers? Is there any in the seat cushion? If there are where they exactly located? By adjustment dose it mean that you can adjust the firmness or other criteria’s? in general how dose it work?
Any comment will be very helpful.

I think you should really visit a dealer and try the seat since you have a major problem to deal with and the only way to check it out is to try it.
Hope that helps a little...

Adjustments on the Dynamic seats are plentiful, but firmness is not one of them.
I really enjoy the seats but the seat cushion length adjustment is a "cheat". On the S-Class the seat cushion literally extends forward. The E Class rather has the front of the seat inflate to extend the seat cushion forward slightly.

I don't know where the OP is from but in the US the only option is the Drive-dynamic option. I suspect that the seat base of all the seats are very similar if not exactly the same firmness.

In general, I like my Dynamic seats. Apart from seat cushion adjustment, my only other complain would be lack of certainty when deflating the lumbar support. I just never know if it has deflated completely.

Up to you to decide if it's worth the higher price - I ordered it and don't regret...
