I've tried a whole range of seat adjustments. I have a 20d xline with 19" wheels + runflat, standard seats and standard suspension. Everything else about the car I really like. My previous car was a late 2014 3 series touring (with run-flats) which I found very comfortable. I think my options are:
1. Soldier on and hope I get used to it
2. Change to non-runflats
3. Change to 18" wheels and non-runflats
4. Swap for another X1 with sports seats, 18" wheels and EDC
5. Cut my losses and get a completely different car.
At the moment I'm erring towards 4 or 5, although these would be expensive.
I see from the posts here, and cars on sale that 19" wheels and standard seats are a common combination, so I might be missing something.
Any thoughts or advice would be welcome - anyone had any similar experience?

I have pretty much the same spec except I luckily have the Sports seats. I find them very good. Better than the sports seats I had in a 320d Sports Coupe I had a few years ago and much better than the 'comfort' seats I had in our last 320d saloon.
Try and get the sports seats is my advice.
