I agree totally!

Fun fact at BMW they told me most of the guys drift in the buckets instead of proper tracking which has more dynamic change of lateral g-forces therefore you are pushed to the sides more often and the high support help you maintain a safe driving position. They know their customers and they offer them the best! Love the company

Great video. I just got mine today same exterior color as urs. The seats are great…for track, which is why I bought the car. Lots of daily they seem like theyd be annoying. Also, there’s someone out there that makes a cover for the outside bolster to prevent wear and tear.

A great and balanced review of these beautiful seats. I get the wow factor and their performance, but I will stick with the comfort seats on my M3 order. I will be using the car a lot and I value comfort and durability. Plus I don’t want my passengers struggling to get in and out.

Nice review

I love the seat , I have no problem getting in and out. And it look better than regular seat.

Im also torn between the two options. I’ve now started seeing some M3’s with over 10K mileage on the bucket seats and the bottom cushion starts to wrinkle bad. Like you stated in your video, over time how are the seats going to look specially maybe 2-4 years into ownership.

Only other downside no option for ventilation option. Great video

Awesome video. Sucks that getting these in the G87 forces a $9,000+ carbon package that should be split apart, in my opinion. Subscribed to follow along with this beautiful spec

Beautiful m4, I want those seats in my fk8 haha The wife and I are looking into the g80m3

I'm soooo glad I opted them, first I didn't and changed my mind after the test drive with them. Yes in- and egress are a pita, but once youre in they are comfy and soooo special. Altough im a fat fu... i fit in very well.

The carbon buckets are cool and all but man is that Aventurin Red so good, does it look darker in person than pictures? I imagine it kind of like a dark cherry with slight orange or bright red metallic flake? Looks like it just comes alive when the sun hits it, great spec!

When I complained about the same lower back push from a German machine, I was told to sit more upright😮

At 6"4 and 240 tried these at the dealership and I'm skipping on these . They r good looking but a daily driver getting in and out not worth it for me ☺️.

Thanks...all these reviews and I have yet to learn how a lady in a dress or skirt exits the carbon seats without exposing.... There must have been hundreds of reviews of the M4 carbon seats during 2021 and 2022, yet not one review demonstrating a lady entering/exiting the car while in a dress/skirt. Your thoughts greatly appreciated.

Great video I was so torn on my order. I didn't choose them in the end because my commute is 30 min and didn't want to deal with it daily. Using the 3800 for pipe mods instead. I got the Cf inlets I think that is a must even if u got black accents

Can you please tell me what the exterior colour of your M4 is? Thank you.

Just curious: Whats the purpose of the thing in the middle of the seat between the legs? Is it just a design element or does it have also a functionality?

I predict that you will have a new car long before the side bolster leather wears out :)

i sat in an m4 with these seats yesterday and my immediate response was... why the heck would anyone want this in a daily driver! crazy uncomfortable

Man I'm so on the fence with these seats right now. I live down in Houston and the base seats can be equipped with the vented option and seem so comfortable, but these carbon fiber seats look great, it's the toughest decision of the purchase honestly. Problem is with inventory the way it is no one has a car with the regular seats and another with the carbon so I can try them both out.

Put your left hand behind your back on the doorsill to get in and out. It'll save your bolster from a lot of wear.

Any lower back strains or pains? Because your knees are higher than your hips

The REAL issue here is BMW is raising the base price of the G80/G82 by a flat $3700 for MY23. It's also rumored that these seats are also going from $3900 -> $4500 as options. Honestly getting into just ridiculous territory lol. I plan on ordering a G80 xDrive, but with the recent bump in pricing, I'm gonna have to ditch the killer looking seats.

This! The seats cost almost as much as X Drive, are they worth 4+ grand? maybe Are they worth 4+ grand MORE than the sport seats, absolutely not! I’m trying to keep this car under $90,000, the sport seats will have to do

I am a big guy and I can get in fine and be pretty comfortable BUT getting out is rough. There is a method that will help getting out you kinda have to lift yourself over the edge. Also my girl didn’t like them and they aren’t heated so she’s out.

I basically have the same spec as your car but I chose the ivory white buckets seats. In my opinion they are a must because these might very well be the last bmws being ICE so having this as an option makes these cars very desirable later on

WHAT IS YOUR PROFESSION HOW DO YOU AFFORD THESE CARS?

Yes. The bolsters are going to get damaged in time. How much would it cost to replace ? I think you would need to buy new seats.

If you have stuff in ur pockets it will push against the side arms so u feel uncomfortable. Getting in and out of the car is a real pain cuz of the side arms. My friend call them the nut crackers. U are more likely to Crack ur nuts if u are driving, dur to the staring wheel. First ur kneels hit the wheel then loose balance then u hear a crack.

No they are worth $4500 now :)

These seats look incredible but every single person I've seen recommending them are young and string bean thin. Ask a guy who deadlifts 600lbs or a guy who might frequent the local buffet how comfy they are. Let alone a 50 year old guy who goes to that buffet. I'm not even that big and these are too tight across the shoulders.
