Buying a new seat?

I'm having back problems recently and I'm pretty sure it's related to the new F30 leatherette seats. I have the sport non-premium version so no lumbar. The seat also sits more like a bucket and the stuffing material is much softer compared to the leather version, not providing enough support to the back. After driving about 15 minutes my upper back would start hurting because it's taking all the weight, even makes me a bit nauseous. Never had any problems before switching to the F30 a month ago.

Now I'm thinking if I can just swap out the entire driver side seat for a premium leather version with lumbar. Where's a good place to buy the whole seat? I priced it out and it looks like $3k+ to buy it direct from BMW. I guess you can't put a price on your back...
