We got this car as a beater for running errands and not having to be picky about where it was parked. Getting out of the buckets when parked in tight spaces was a no-go, and my wife and I are both fit.

We have several other cars with buckets and/or proper racing seats. Didn't care to have the same experience in a daily. But they sure do look nice.
If the M3 is your beater car, I'd love to hear what else is in your garage….
