Cognac seats?

middyM · 12-15-2023, 02:59 PM

Does anyone know if BMW will let me spec a M3 with the Cognac leather seats like in the M2? I saw someone on here got them to do Tartufo buckets, but I have no idea how that process works.

Call individual and open your wallet wide.

I’ve seen one tartufo buckets in here, but I’m not sure how easy or expensive that was. I think it was a special exclusive order.

Not sure if it can be done, but the Cognac seats are vernasca leather, which is a lower grade than the merino leather in the G8X. Kind of tells me that if it can be done, it would be very costly, unless another series uses Cognac in merino.

Ah that’s a really good point. Will have to check if another series uses that color. Thanks!

I think 8 Series is the only series that uses Cognac merino.
