New 5 BW Owner here

[Triplejs]

So I just picked up a new to me 24 5BW. Drove it home over 200 miles. Really impressed with the car. Powerful yet refined comfort and not too loud.

Only bad thing is I don't fit in the seats... Now What?

congrats on the 5BW!

Not sure what you mean by not fitting in the seats. If they are feeling too tight, the side and bottom bolsters are adjustable. You might just need to set them to not be as tight.

As nordique14 says, you can adjust the angle of the thigh bolsters. Play with the seat adjustment buttons. I also found it less comfortable with the front seat extension out.

It will work out. I am 6' 4" / 300 Pounds. When I first drove the car I thought I was in trouble with the fit (like you), but the seat will settle in. It can bend a little bit to your shape over time. I was uncomfortable for the first few weeks, but just took a 4 hour road trip last weekend without a thought.

That's encouraging. I'm worried about that. I'm thinking about try to find another complete interior in order to keep it and be able to enjoy it thoroughly. Otherwise the car is absolutely amazing...

Unless you are in "pain" vs. "discomfort" I would give it a few weeks and play with the settings. You might find a layout that is more comfortable, and the seat itself will stretch out a bit.

Yep, give it some time. New leather/ cushion will loosen up. I find the seat extender to help on long trips (2 Extension settings)

I felt the same way on my 300-mile trip home from south Florida but the next weekend on a 150-mile trip they started to feel better, now 3000 miles in I don't even notice them feeling tight anymore. Good Luck !

Which seats do you have?
I feel like the mid level and low level have both gotten pretty good comments on here regarding comfort, but the high end seats have been too stiff for some.
