Get them, you wont regret it! Just saying!

I really hate the new steering wheels, overtime the leather gets less smooth,and not grippy, they shouldve really went with a suede / perforated leathers on the 9 and 3 .. really annoying that I have to deal with in my m340i

It's not about him at 6-7, its about him weighing 290lbs. Helmet clearance shouldn't be an issue for anyone.

There is a MP steering wheel with suede...but it's a shame they don't offer that in the builder...

But of courses, they can charge more $$$ that way...

All concentrated in the midsection, too. Which is probably a good review to watch for the average American.

Nice! Cool to use him as an example I guess....yes he's tall ..very tall but overweight at that, the stomach is a dead give away. Easy to get in and out of a vehicle when you don't have excess weight around the waist.

These are definitely Manlet only seats. Big Bois need not apply.

Once you're in it I'm sure it's great. For me, I had a non-ZCP F80. I did a track day in a ZCP F82 and I hated my seats (and my car for that matter) after. I missed the support big time after 4 hours in the ZCP seats.

When I sit in a 540 loaner or an X7 I miss the supportive side bolsters of my CS which has ZCP seats.

Frankly, I don't care what the discomfort is, these are the greatest looking seats in the world and I got them without seeing or sitting in them. As soon as I found out they were fully adjustable that was enough.

I hear you, but you can clean the steering wheel with leather wipes. This won't make it any less smooth but they will take the grime and shine away and back to a matt finish which helps with grip. I use Dr Leather wipes, then buff off with dry microfibre cloth

I'm liking it too, but not sold on the Kyalami yet...wishing it was more of a Tartufo, would go more easily with many of the offered colors.

Don't like this carbon bucket seats, especially plastic part between the legs. They are too loud, too plastic, too colorful. They should look at Porsche RS seats first. That's how decent seats look like.

The G80 is growing on me.

But am I the only one who thinks the G80's strut brace is so tame
compared to the F80's CF boomerang?

According to the CCP, there's no such thing as Mongolia, Tibet, Taiwan, HK, etc.

It's all China.

I'm sure that seat will fit the overwhelming majority of people here, but that guy is lying to himself. His leg is literally sitting on top of the bolster not inside the bolster.

I wonder if we'll ever make it more than 2 pages without someone mentioning Porsche
