My test drive had standard seats and there was nothing remarkable or distinguishable about them; I literally didn't think anything of them or about them the whole time I was driving. To me the buckets seem like they change the entire feel and vibe of the car, from just being in a luxurious sport sedan to a special experience in a high performance machine. Plus I'm 6'1" ~180lbs so I think/hope my body type will be fine. I'm seeing people in the seat threads buying them at 5'11" 250 and saying they're relatively comfortable… but I'm also seeing tiny people saying they hate them lol. I understand this is very much a gamble, but I want to err on the side of being special and just plain cool. Coming from a rock hard STI, honestly I think this M3 in any configuration will be way more comfy to me.

That’s cool. I am small at 5’7” and slim. The carbon bucket seats are a real pain in the ass to get in and out of for sure. The standard seats however I had on my first G80 I thought were very luxurious and comfortable. You can adjust them 30 different ways and they hold you in pretty good. I guess it’s just what you’re going to use the car for. However is very important we all remember it’s permanent. You can’t change them.
