Anyway to get Tarfuto carbon buckets
Is there anyway to pay extra and get the Tarfuto Interior color with the carbon bucket seats? I don't understand why that is the only color that does NOT come with available carbon buckets.. I really like the Tarfuto color with BSM or Frozen Black exterior paint.. and the buckets are amazing.. Fiona red is a fine back up but man that Tarfuto speaks to me.

You and a few us would like to know. I just went conservative and ordered the buckets in black. My first choice was Tarfuto and when I chose the carbon buckets it remove the option. Buckets were higher on my preferred list.

I went with the regular seats + Tartufo. Honestly they grab me just fine during spirited driving so unless you're going to be doing frequent track days, or just REALLY like the look of the carbon fiber more than the tartufo color leather...I'd just stick with the regular seats.
Edit: I've done a track day in my M440 which had similar but even less grabby seats and I was fine. The bolsters (both thigh and back) on the M4 are a little bit taller / longer and stiffer and DO grab you even better. So even the occasional track session should be just fine in the standard seats.

I've got the regular seats in my X3M. They are comfortable but in my opinion, the carbon bucket seats transform the car. My back will probably not like them, but I'll smile through the pain.

You can inquire via the Individual Manufaktur program. They'll build you Tartufo buckets no problem. Question is, how much are you willing to pay?

Last I heard, I believe it was even being rejected via the Individual program. Never hurts to ask though. However, I’d expect a pretty hefty price tag for it if they did approve it.

Oh really, interesting. I wonder why? Still surprises me that the buckets are available in Ivory White but not Tartufo..

If you get inroads into the Individual program, they can make just about anything happen. Going to take a year+ of lead time and probably another 10-15k on top of it. There were some old F8x threads and F10 threads with huge amounts of customization but the price is very steep.

I've always been annoyed that they don't offer tartufo buckets since they have that color available with the base seats. It really doesn't make any sense that only tartufo is omitted.
