THANK YOU! This is now confirming my decision to go with Fiona Red and the standard seats.

YW! Fiona Red is the way to go! I love my sport seats and I appreciate them on longer drives but I do sometimes wish I optioned the carbon buckets. Maybe on the next M4!

Don't! I tested them out on a car with 1000 miles at a local dealer. The CF Buckets were showing major signs of wear. They were very hard to get in and get out on a daily basis. Lastly, the carbon fiber frame on the bolsters and the seat backs are so flimsy it's pathetic. I was able to bend the seat bolster by hand almost 2 inches.

I don't think they will stand the test of time. They are fake "race" seats that are not worth the $4500.00 premium.

BTW, I have a 2008 335i which is a dedicated HDPE and AutoX toy. It's caged, fully gutted, Cobra XL FRP seats. I have years of experience with bucket seats, and the BMW ones are very flimsy.

They look great, but that's about it.

I agree. Fiona with regular seat looks amazing and makes u appreciate ur interior well. I went with just the extended leather as didnt want the lower Dash with red leather due to road salts and constant upkeep in the winter and never regretted it. Go for it !!!

After coding in red ambient lighting

I noticed my MY23 doesn’t have ambient lights in the door cupholders. Are other MY23’s missing them as well?

so many pictures in this thread do 1000x better job of showing the colors and look of the interior than on dealer websites.

Full YMB with CF trim. I get compliments on the interior all the time, and I couldn't be happier with it!

Full leather is really such a great, underrated option.
