New 330XI headrests suck
The new headrests are thicker by about 2" than the past ones and are uncomfortable (they don't allow your head back far enough to be at a neutral angle). These headrests are not the same as the ones on the vehicle I test drove in April, but are now appearing on all new vehicles being delivered. I have compared notes with another new 330XI owner who picked his car up just last week. Both of our wives hate these headrests. So far, I have not gotten any info back from dealership on why these have changed or how we can get them "fixed". From other threads, these new headrests may be a redesign to improve rear collision crash test ratings but thats just a guess on my part. Any insights on this out there? I have attached a picture of the new headrest - and you can see that it has an extra seam in it not found in most other pictures posted.

I don't this that it's only for the xi.
Maybe it's only for the none sports seats.

Is that a lemon interior? Just wondering. And yes, the head rests do look large.

You get the hugging seats, the cool thicker small steering wheel and a good looking set of wheels (158s) without the performance suspension and tires (which I didn't want) for only $900 ($820 dealer invoice). What were you thinking?
