Does anyone know if they have adequate seat elevation adjustment? The video mentions electric seat "tilt" adjustment but not elevation adjustment in regards to the M carbon bucket seats.

I'm not 100% sure anymore but when I drove the car I first setted the seat in my position. And I was able to adjust the height...but i'm not 100% sure anymore, sorry

Agreed. Looking for confirmation the CF seats are HEIGHT adjustable. The dude in the video did not specifically say that like he said it when detailing the M Sport seats.

I think I may have answered my own question - yes I believe the M carbon buckets are height adjustable. Check out these photos - you can clearly see the drivers seat is higher than the passenger seat.

LOL
You may have better compatibility and fitment with the E9X CRT/GTS front seats 👍

I still can't find this answer anywhere, but are the Carbon Bucket Seats height adjustable?

If I ever met this dude in person I'd give him a hug. He designed my favorite thing about this car

Yes. Height, seat back, and seat back side bolsters.

They're amazing. Heated, too.
