What do you think of them?
Duncs1961 wroteIf you didn’t opt for the M Sport package, but chose the sports seats option, then you would get the same seats as we get in the M Sport package.I love the sport seats in my X1, very comfortable and supportive and plenty of adjustment, plus the variable lumber support and massage function are a great bonus; however, mine is not an M sport spec. model, so I'm not sure if the sport seats fitted in my car are the same style as an M spec. car.

But lumbar support in the active seats is an additional option in the US, which wasn't available when I ordered my car last summer.

When I drove the new X1 for the first time, the dealer's X1 was a X-Line with Sport Seat option. I was very comfortable in the sport seat. The salesman was quite surprised.
My X1 with M Sport package came with Sport Seats and Alcantara seating surface. After one month, I still love the sport seat. It holds me very well and yet offer plenty of comfort for me. In addition, I have the Active Seats with Lumbar Support and Seat Massaging function.
During a long drive last week, I was really comfortable. In fact, when I was taking a break at a random NJ Tpke rest area, I fell asleep for two hours. When I woke up, I was very surprised that I had such a nice nap. The sport seat felt like it was cradling me.
The Alcatara seating surface prevents me and the passengers from sliding around when I take corners in a more sporty way.

The sport seat's leg extension(or whatever it's called) also allow my long legs a lot of very comfortable support during long drives.
So, yes, I love the sport seats! (make sure that you add Active Seat option to them, if available in your country)
Having said that, there is one downside to the sport seats. Getting in and out of the car requires a little more effort because the seat cushion bolsters are taller.

In all the test drives with the X1 they only had X-line with the regular comfort seats, so unfortunately I never had the chance to try the sports seats.
I ordered mine with M-Sport package (and seats) with active seat option
by the end of the month I can hopefully upload photos
Joked with the wife I'm swapping our seats.

Thanks for the feedback!
I have a question about the seat knee support.
I ordered the following in my optional equipment
455 active seats for driver and front passenger
459 Electric seat adjustment with memory for driver's seat
494 Seat heating for driver and front passenger
but I didn't order a sports seat.
Does knee support only come with sports seats?
I wonder if my car will have knee support or not?
