Although we use the Aeron's at work (5000 of them in our HQ), I didn't like boring colour options available so bought a Mirra 2 Butterfly in Urban Orange & Chrome.
Doesn't fit in a Z4 though

Lovely looking chair. I was told arm rests are bad for posture so I got one without I can't remember the exact model but I recall it was around £800 or so in John Lewis. Possibly a bit more.
Fantastic chairs. We use them at work too in fact two different places of work have had them and both of them been fantastic.
There's potentially scope here for them to start making car seats in the future who knows. My point was that I don't find the standard seat to be as bad as some people make it out to be. But possibly because I'm naturally more flexible?
I've got the same tilletts as Beedub, my wife and I have done several 4h+ trips in the car and she had a slipped disc and commented on how much more comfy they are than her old m135i seats.... They really are quite deceivingly comfortable! As Beedub says though the difficult is only getting in and out of them! :lol:

I have never seen the M seats as being uncomfortable, but maybe I a, too forgiving?
I used Miata seats in one of my cars and they turned out to be quite comfortable with adequate support, but they are laid was back for head clearance (the car is lower than an Elise is) and that may have something to do with the comfort.

The same Demon Tweesk who refused to fit the Pole Positions I'd bought from them, as they said there wasn't enough headroomjohn-e89 said:mmm-five said:what are the dimensions though?john-e89 said:
If a narrow bucket seat is tight, then an ergo seat may have no chance
Says it fits on Demon tweeks guide.
The widest part of the PP ABE is the shoulders at 580mm, and the Ergomed has no issues there as the shoulders are about the narrowest part bar the headrest. However, the outside of the seat base looks to be 14mm wider than the ABE's 520mm and that's already extremely tight...and I can only move my seat a few inches forward from its rearmost position due to the side of the seat hitting the transmission tunnel.
These are the dimensions for the PP ABE...

There's hitting the tranny tunnel and then there's squeezing against it so hard the seat physically won't move any more, 14mm isn't going to make the difference unless the seat is so tight to begin with it surely wouldn't get into the 'it fits' guide...?
