The standard seats are the first BMW seats that I'm actually happy with. If I could spend a month with the carbon seats (and measure my SO's silly expressions dealing with them), then a comparison could be made.

But ALL of us can only comment on the ones we've had to live with for more than a 20 minute test drive. And your size matters. Height, weight, leg to torso ratio...it all matters with car seats.

I thought the M seats in my M2C were great...the first week I had them. By the second week, I was happier with them than I had been compared to the seats in my previous BMW's but overall it was clear that they weren't going to be satisfying. And I was right. They got harder over time and while they weren't terrible, they weren't good, either (except for holding you tight in curves...they were great for that).

So, five weeks in with the base seats, I STILL think they're near-perfect...but the true test is probably six months from now while stuck in traffic for two hours or on a long drive.
