F30/31 sports seats replacement

[3059hp]

Has anyone any experience of replacing the sports seats in a 3 Series F30/31 with something more comfortable?
I've tried every permutation of seat position/angle plus steering column adjustment as well as adding various aftermarket cushions and padding, but just cannot get a comfortable driving position.
The rest of the car (330D M Sport X Drive Touring) is brilliant, and exactly suited to my needs at the moment, but the driver's seat is the worst I've ever experienced.
I'm now seriously considering getting rid of the car, but would prefer to keep it and as a last resort am considering replacing the seat.
Any thoughts on what aftermarket seat would fit and who could supply one?

Google suggests this:



Then bolt your choice of Recaro on top.

Hi,,if you find those sports seats uncomfortable then maybe recaros will not be for you? Before shelling out money I would bite the bullit and go to their place in leicester where you can sit in all of their seats and try them out.

Yes, I certainly plan to try before I buy. Recaro seem to have a pretty extensive range, and I'm sure I will find something to suit.
Thanks for the reply

I had your problem in a way. The standard se seats in my F30 30d were awful I was sliding about all the time I went up to recaro and actaully didnt like any of them. Thing is they wre just a symptom not the cayse ,I changed the suspension and I had no problem and having sat in sport seats since they feel very cramped
