buckets on a daily driver are silly for the most part. If this is your "special car" or weekend car or whatever, that's a different story. While the buckets can be comfortable, and add to the driving experience when driving agressively, getting in and out of them is a chore, especially if you park in crowded parking lots, parking garages, etc.
If you track your car all the time, buckets are a must. This bucket seat hype is similar to what you find in the Porsche GT community, although most of those guys rarely drive their cars so one could see it being justified there. does anyone know the weight difference between the regular seats and the buckets on the G80? It's a bit odd to me that BMW chose to make these power adjustable instead of manual... could've saved some more weight that way. |

Just my opinion but I think the buckets are a must regardless. I have driven 32k miles 2/2022 to 4/2023 with buckets and I am so happy I got them! Comfortable, supportive, no negatives from my perspective.

Carbon Buckets are a must.
No, the CS is not fixed, its powered. CSL has two options on buckets - power & non.
