The color wasn’t my first choice as I usually prefer lighter colors but, at the time I bought, wait times were crazy so I took what happened to be on the lot. What they say about TBII is true - when it’s clean, it’s amazing. Super deep and a nice bit of metallic. I’ve gotten a load of comments, nods, etc. from other drivers. The interior and exterior colors contrast nicely and I really love the Fiona Red. If I do a custom build, FR will definitely be part of it.

When does your arrive?

In the paint booth as we speak. So hoping sometime in June. We live in Utah and planing on hitting all of the National parks and driving UT senic byway 12 this summer.

I love these so much, but worry they would blind the backseat passengers when the top is down. Have you had any complaints?

There's a matte version if you're really concerned, which I have

Quick question for you on these. I’ve only been able to find a G80 install video on YouTube for these. How difficult was it to install on the G83? Figure you have to attach the latch/lever to some sort of mechanism.

Very easy. Much easier than the other poster made it out to be. Same idea as the G80, 2 covers for 2 T25 (or T30? maybe) on the bottom, then pull the release latch, and pull it even a little further out than normal (don't break it though) and you'll see another T25/T30 in the hole there. Get that out, and the seatback comes out the same way as the G80. Reverse the process getting it in and it's done.

Forgot to follow up. Ordered these and they arrived last week. Thank you everyone for the suggestion. Car should be here next week and going to install them as soon as it gets back from PPF/tint/ceramic

Checking in.

Mine is still in production but will add mine to the list as soon as it arrives!

Just bought this 2023 a couple of weeks ago. Awesome car. I'm very happy wit the technology and the performance.
I'm new to BMWs, so I'm guessing it's a G83??

I had the Xpel PPF front done plus the rear quarters and rockers. BMW did the coating and it already had ceramic tint.

So much fun to drive
