Base Seats Are Uncomfortable

Hey guys! I have an LCI 320i with the base electronic seats. I've had this car for almost 3 years now and I've always found the seats to be very uncomfortable. They don't hold me in my seat at all when making turns also. Does anyone else have these issues? And does anyone know a good solution?

Thank you!

Find a wrecked sport/msport model and swap seats

Slow down, or gain weight.
My base seats are very comfortable for me, even after driving five or six hours straight. I can't say if that's because I weigh 240, but I guess that could be a factor.

I wasn't looking to swap my old seats out with new ones. I wanted to know if there was a product(s) out there that I can attach to the seat to make it more comfortable.

If you think the standard seats on the F3x are bad, you should try an X1. I got a loaner from the dealer while my 440i was in for service.

The front seats are shaped exactly like a round toilet seat!
