thanks!

I'll say it's better than I had thought they'd be. It feels like you have a wider range of selectable "clicks" than your traditional seating positions. The only problem I see is when really tall or heavy friends require adjustments in the passenger seat... They have a hard time raising the seat height if they lower it too low. You really have to rise up from your seat to let it sort of "spring up".
Just FYI, since you're getting an M-sport, the sport seats have an additional manual adjustment on the side in the front of the panel. it adjusts basically the angle of the seating surface. the middle one adjusts the height of the seat, the back the backrest. but it's this front one that can make the seat angle very steep, i.e. edge of seat much higher than your rear, or very flat. this is one of the amazing features of the BMW sport seats in my opinion, as I like them flat. the non-sport seats have a standard angle that really cannot be adjusted.
