The rear seat is comfortable for two, but three is a squeeze. see full BMW 5-Series review

This is technically not front seat comfort, but the heated front seat leaves something to be desired. At the lowest setting it actually gets uncomfortably hot below my left thigh, while the rest of the seat and back stay perfectly fine. This may be age related (the car not me) but again ... I've had other cars with heated seats and never noticed this issue. see full BMW 5-Series review

My wife refers to it as a sofa on wheels, my daughter sprawls out in the cavernous back seat. I just love the way it drives. see full Mercedes-Benz S-Class review
