Seats - I had two G30s, pre and post LCI both cars had nappa leather, ventilated, heated and massaged seats. Initially I thought I would miss the G30 seats but... the seats in G60 are unbelievably comfortable. I do not miss the upper back tilt adjustment at all. Overall seating position (for my body type) is much better and that includes the steering wheel, which I think is perfectly shaped.
Someone said that before (not my line) but I will repeat it here...I think BMW finally built a prefect Lexus minus the use of some hard plastics refurbished from public school folding chairs.

These are the things that will push me to an 840i GC and pay 20k more for the privilege. I just can’t see paying 80k-ish for a G60 540iX with less than my current G30 540i. I really don’t think these relatively small things are worth 20k more, but 80k for a 540i without them will feel like a big miss and wasted money. I’m really more of a committed 5 series customer but with a luxury product the details matter.
