Even the 2006 BMW M5’s seats are loaded with technology. The standard seats include an adjustment for backrest width and a memory system tied to a specific remote that also remembers steering wheel position and individual control settings. The fun comes in when you spend the extra $$$ for the M Multi-Functional Sport Seats. In addition to the standard seat functions these seats add the following:

• Active Backrest functionality that tightens the lower backrest bolsters when sensing cornering forces.
• Adjustable Upper Back Rest Support that is electronically controlled and not affected by active functions.
• Active Head Restraints that allow the driver to adjust the headrest away from the back of her head but pivot forward during impact to protect against whiplash.
• Active Seat Ventilation uses multiple fans inside of the seat to circulate air though the perforated leather keeping the front occupants cool on hot days.
