Default My Painful Seat!

I just bought a used 2006 Mini, very low miles and super clean. It has the Sport package and so it has Sport seats. Well, the seats are horribly narrow for my 6'3" frame and they cause terrible leg pain. I am actually considering selling it due to this issue. Has anyone else experienced this? Any suggestions? I talked to BMW, and standard seats will not fit so I can't swap them out.

Thanks!

Why wouldn't the standard seats fit? I think they're jerking your chain. [8D] The rails or something might be different but I can't imagine they make a different chassis based on the seats that will go in it.

I agree. The seats can be changed. he standard seats don't have nearly the amount of rise on the side as do the sports seats. The sports seat holds you in position much better and are much more snug, but I can see where they would bother some people.
