Multi-Contour Seat?
I saw this option, and was wondering if they are worth the price, comfort level, etc. If they're restricting like racing seats, I would not be comfortable. Anyone with experience?
Thanks

It's a new option for GL and I don't think anybody has experience to tell you something. I really liked multi contour seats on our BMW X5 and when the time comes will order it for my new GL.

The multi contour option was available on the original 07 GL.... I had it. The side bolsters moved in and out and the front part of the seat closest to your knees would move to provide more or less support. The lumbar support moved in more ways than the standard version. There was no "massage" at that time. My thoughts are.... if you spend a lot of time at one shot in your vehicle, you will like the option.....if not, then its just a "gee whiz" gizmo! Also.... I'm a light weight...140 pounds....the seat adjustments, i think, assume you weigh or are larger than I am....when the side bolsters moved on mine I never felt it because they don't touch my body anyway! That being said.... I did like the change of positions on an 8 hour drive!
