Just get the seats you want. She can get the seats she wants in her car. In ten years you're going to be driven around in an electric car by AI and you'll never be able to buy bucket seats again.

I wouldn't agree with that. I find them to be an upgrade overall from the F80 ZCP seats. A lot more comfortable for sure and the adjustable headrest is also a big improvement.

There's always a back seat, especially if it's the M3.

Just in case we're getting to close to being sexist in this thread, I'll point out that kilts are also a thing.
I think the most significant problems I've heard about with the seats are: - deep bolsters make getting in and out annoying, which might be fine until you have a tweaky back or knee and still need to drive somewhere... not what I want in an DD - the inner-thigh piece restricts how people sit, can get in the way or rub on the MT When I test drove an M3C with the seats, I loved them and was convinced I had to have them. Then I actually thought about it, and the realities of living with those seats (and how annoying it'll be for my wife) and decided it was a hard pass. To each their own... they are wonderful and functional, and have trade-offs. I'm not willing to make those trade-offs. |

Yes, there's the rub: How are these buckets seats for daily city driving?

they are very hard to get in an out daily and will make female passengers uncomfortable and quite embarrassed when getting in and out with skirts, evening dress etc. in view of other people. The middle carbon cup (whatever it is) is just stupid IMO. this isn't a racing car and I don't care for these seats in this car.
Driven some 911's and even a 488, even in that car seats weren't as aggressive and quite easy to get in and out and no raised middle part to separate your legs. I am glad the buckets are optional and not the sport seats. my 2 cents YMMV

she looks quite tall and is wearing high heels. a 5-6 to 5-8 lady would literally have to open her legs wide and hang one off the thigh bolster to get out like coming out of a bath tub.

Once you're in the seats, there really is no discomfort at all. Now I haven't taken a road trip in them either, so I can't comment on sitting in them for hours. |

But my goodness, what an awesome looking seat. It was so tempting. I may bite the bullet and buy the upper carbon seatback covers, just to feel like I got a seat upgrade. Last edited by KevinGS; 06-03-2021 at 09:07 AM.. |

Why are we only discussing skirts/dresses ? Majority of the time women are in jeans/pants
Unless your lady friend is a Victoria secret model , this is overblown to epic proportions. This is more of a special occasion issue, more so than an everyday problem. At least for me

Couple of questions for those that have the carbon buckets:
1). How is it for a tall person (6'4'')? 2). Is it noticeably "thinner" than the standard seats, this providing more significant leg room for rear passengers? Or does it just look that way in pictures? |

Yes the buckets are thinner, and rear passengers do have more leg room. But I wouldn't say it a substantial difference.

They will be better for a tall person given you can position the seat substantially lower than the standard seats. I feel like I'm sitting on the floor. It has a very ferrari-esque feel to it.
