Electrically adjustable sports seats will be optionally available. The sports seats additionally feature a manual seat depth adjustment facility, more pronounced formed seat upholstery and a lumbar support.

The electrical control is identical for both the basic seat and sport seat. Both versions include seat memory on the driver's side.

The K-Bus connects the driver's seat module (SMFA) to the SZM. In the E64, the passenger's seat module (SMBF) is also connected to this K-Bus.

The SZM represents the interface between the K-Bus of the seats and the K-CAN. The K-CAN and SZM therefore connect the seat control units to the control units of the body electronic systems.
