Std leather seats vs Sports seats

Thanks Dave, those are the seats in the Z4 I am looking at buying, good to know they are comfortable and also look a bit more spacious.

Do the passenger seats have lumba support (wifey is concerned about her comfort on long journeys (as am I) and do the std seats have lumba support?

Thanks for the answers guys,

From what I have read, for some reason only some of the M sport seats have lumbar support, mine does (its a 2014) both driver and passenger,so whether that came in later, with the 2013 facelift I am not sure,

Has anyone got a picture of sports seats and standard seats side by side? or picture of both to compare?

M sport have adjustable knee supports, wider shoulders, and adjustable bolsters as in the red seats.

Cream ones are SE seats.

There are some SE (standard) seats advertised on Ebay in Germany with lumbar support, so it must of been an option at some point (maybe not for the UK market?). They are from a 2011 car, spec as follows;

BMW Z4 E89 LEATHER SEATS
459 SEAT ADJUSTMENT, ELECTR. WITH MEMORY
494 SEAT HEATING FOR DRIVER / PASSENGER
LUMBAR SUPPORT

I'm sceptical... How is the lumbar support controlled? there doesn't appear to be anything on the side of the seats that is different from the M-Sports ones (which doesn't have lumbar support). You sure they are not being confused with bolster? Plus I'd be very surprised if the SE seats has something better than the M-Sports ones...
