X5 50i Dakota Mocha Sport or Comfort Seats std
Hi everyone,
I just took delivery of a Beautiful X5 50i, I ordered it with Mocha Dakota, with the understanding it came with Comfort seats, as they are standard with the 50i. However, the vehicle came with sport seats instead of comfort seats. I tried to configure it online, and if you order tierra, then the vehicle comes with the comfort seats. I brought it up to my salesman and he says it is an additional option to get comfort seats, but the sticker says comfort seats std. Did anyone else experience this? |

The front seats (with M Sport) have two options according to the order guide:
481 - Sport Seats 456 - Multi-Contour Seats I believe the OP is referring to the Multi-Contour seats. BMW's order guide is a little tricky at times. For example, when I placed my order I got satin aluminum roof rails instead of gloss black (default for ZMP). I caught it and my CA updated. 481 is supposed to be the default according to the order guide unless you get something that changes it, like seat ventilation.

This is true in the US as well. This is the reason I had to order Mocha Nappa. For some reason you can get multi contour seats as standard in other colors when you order 50i but not Mocha Dakota.

I ended up going with Terra and am very happy with the color after receiving the vehicle. There are some really strange build combination restrictions from BMW. Not sure if there is any real logic to some of it or not... |

Agree. Ordering is ridiculously confusing. I nearly got stuck with the satin aluminum rails but caught it as a fluke when went to check the order build on the site. Otherwise would have been a bad day at delivery.
OP what are you going to do with the car? |

So i sacrificed functionality by not taking terra. I have to add I had comfort seats in my X6 for the last three years... I also have to add, your car looks great with aluminium trim and ceramic, which I took as well |

Comfort seats - they are just perfect, because they have lumbar support already included, they come cheaper with some of the packages (eg. sport package) and they are also fully automated. On longer journeys you can feel the advantage, also the headrests are more comfortable and the whole seat has far more options, the most important one (for me) is that with comfort you can adjust the upper part of the upper seat (where you lean your back). So if the upper part is set a bit forward, your back just kinda blends in. To me comfort seats are far superior, I find B&O far superior also, but many on this forum will tell you its not that big of a difference, to me there it. Would I take comfort seats if I was buying now: Yes, definitely. I have to say that I found the previous version of comfort seat (E70/71) even more comfortable than the current comfort seat version . |

I think the Dakota Mocha is not compatible with comfort seat here in Australia. Also it may remove the leather dashboard. We ordered Nappa Mocha instead and have to pay extra for the extended leather option to get leather back on the dashboard...

My opinion, and I don't expect it will be popular with BMW is that they had to make a marketing decision. If they offered Mocha Dakota with Multi Contour seats, they will probably sell a lot less of the mocha nappa leather and the mocha interior design package. It was probably also a way of distinguishing the two mocha interior options. My two cents on this topic......
