In my brief time driving an E38, I thought that the headrests were quite a bit more comfortable than the E34's. This may already be common knowledge, but E38 headrests drop right into the E34 headrest holes.
To remove headrests: Pull up.
To install headrests: Push down until you feel the click.

There is a solution to the concrete headrests! Thanks

I still need to figure out why I can't find any E32 headrest brackets that would work for me. All the ones at my local junk yard have a one piece plastic seatbelt fitting, when I need two separate plastic guides(covers) for the holes I'll need to make in my back seat.

Good to know... Maybe if I ever get around to fixing the power adjustment cable on the ones I DO have I will swap them out..
Speaking of headrests... Has any of our Touring guys installed any in theirs?

The standard E38 and E39 Headrests fit in the E34/E32 Seats. If your talking about the comfort seat headrests from an E38/9, the bars are thicker and wont fir in the holes, unless you swap the bracket. but because the bracket is designed for the thicker bar, you'll need to add something to make it snug. heres what the comfort headrests look like in an E32. don't mind the color mismatch
hi guys, i just so happen to have a e34 and e38 in my stable to test this out. the e34 is a 95 540i6 with sport seats. the e38 is a 01 740i sport with sport seats.
left e38 right e34. e38 poles are longer than e34
left e38 right e34. the pole is much thicker on the e38
left e34 right e38. the poles are the same distance apart
left e34 front right e38 rear. e38 rear poles are a bit shorter than e34 fronts
left e34 front right e38 rear. poles are same distance apart and same thickness.
this is the rear e38 headrest installed on a e34 sport seat. it fits but the height is already at full extension. it would not be a useful swap if you are a tall person.
to add to the confusion, e65/e66 head rests fit e38. check out this post.

so what do you guys think of the E38/9 comfort headrests on E32/4 seats?
