Tartufo Carbon Bucket Seats... Yes It's Possible (Photos)

akkando · 09-02-2023, 09:52 PM

I don't understand why they don't just allow this as an option.

///minh · 09-03-2023, 09:16 AM

We talked about this a while back. Congrats bro, looks beautiful.

Delgadoa08 · 09-03-2023, 10:02 AM

I would have pursued this harder if I knew it was possible! They said it couldn’t be done! Would you mind sharing more details on how you caught the white whale of the g8x community??

a5m · 09-03-2023, 01:45 PM

Gorgeous! And kudos for making this happen. This is my type of tenacity.

As many people as you've made happy, I'm sure just as many you've pissed off

Individual door sills:

For some reason I thought all 4 doors had them but it's only the 2 fronts. I have another pair of these for sale if anyone wants them. $220 shipped CONUS.

What dealer?

Why the gatekeeping? Everyone is asking how much it is and from where.

How tacky is it to ask someone how much they paid? Doesn’t matter honestly.

SM2 · 09-04-2023, 06:51 PM

Please post the window sticker when you pick up curious what the full spec and price breakdown comes out too?

How is that tacky? We all want them, just want to know how much it’ll cost.

God love all the sales advisors at BMW now be harassed with this thread showing that it IS an option

Well played sir! I’m sure everyone wants to know how you convinced them to do it!

It’s funny, BMW used to offer ‘individual’ interiors too, seen some crazy interiors over the years. I guess it just become too costly and not worth their time and money to do it.

hey! i would love to take these off your hands. obviously new account, but let me know how best to get in touch with you!

chris s · 09-04-2023, 07:30 PM

For those asking, it's $6500 on top of the cost of the bucket seats. Easily ordered by anyone, but it has to go through a rep at BMWNA who handles these types of individual requests. If your sales advisor says it can't be done, find a new one who knows what he or she is talking about.

I’m sure it has to do with the fact that he ordered back in December ‘21 and the wrong car was delivered a year later. Long wait. Hopefully it was worth it.

Tallest · 09-04-2023, 07:35 PM

It looks really nice! Worth the individual option cost.

Because curiosity sometimes gets the best of us

Garage5 · 09-04-2023, 08:22 PM

I have Daytona on Tartufo, its possible to order carbon buckets but I believe only two dealerships in the USA have the ability too some sort of special ///M dealer.

My car was ordered with buckets and it showed up without them. It's the cost of buckets and individual interior, thats what I was told OP can answer if he wants. I believe there is a dealership that can order this in Carolinas.

DDS2015 · 09-04-2023, 08:44 PM

Gorgeous.

I may have done this if it were an “easy” process. But I absolutely love my ivory buckets, and I don’t think it contrasts well with my Atlantis exterior.
