Well deciding should now be easier for people. Carbon buckets delayed my order 3 Months. Was originally scheduled to go into production this week, now it's first week of February.
It'll be 7 months from order to getting my car now if there is no further delays |

Ouch, that's painful. But the carbon buckets ended up being one of my favorite things about the car. I would say they're worth the wait.

This was likely already discussed in this thread, but do you guys think the look of the buckets are lost on the M4 since it you can't really see the beautiful carbon backs of the seats, compared to the M3 with the rear doors/glass. I still want them, but curious what G82 owners think.

Yeah. I'm actually in the same boat. Was a week out, and now delayed to 2/6 date. 😭

Here’s a spin on the question. What if you purchased a pre-owned G82 Comp (as I did) that does not have the Carbon Bucket seats but want them?
Can the standard seat be replaced? If so, what is the level of effort and what is the estimated cost of labor and or seat? |

I am looking to get some custom Recaros with the CF back for the track days as an alternative.

You can also go to your local dealer and see if they have a car with the carbon bucket seats.

Am I crazy for not loving the comfort of the bucket seats? With how wide the car was + the side skirts & buckets, it was a pain for me to get in the seat versus causally sliding in.
I love the seats but for my future daily I'm hesitant… The seats themselves were fine (minus the center carbon piece which was eh) but getting in and out is what I didn't love. I'd also feel like I messed up BIG time if I didn't order them, regardless of how much of a pain they are to get inside of.

Easier said than done. There's very low inventory of these cars around (like a handful in any large metro area), and the carbon seats are in a small minority of orders, so finding one just to sit in (let alone drive) is not easy. Trust me, I've been trying...
