Have you spent any time in the Porsche fixed buckets for comparison?

I sat in the 718 GT4 a couple days back and was afraid the buckets were going to be horrible .. they were not and I'd probably get them for that car. Granted it would be a track car primarily and I'd expect more street time. I will say that even the mildly aggressive seats in my F80 had a major contribution to that "special feel" of the car and I think it would be a constant reminder that you're not in an m340i...

seats definitely something you need to follow your heart on!!
