M2 Carbon Bucket Seats

Hey All,

What is a "fair" price for the M2 Carbon Bucket seats? I am in between selling mine as I was toying with the idea of getting a half cage and I already have Recaro bucket seats. I've done some track day with the carbon buckets and they would be great if I could use a 6point harness with them :P

When I asked the dealership they quoted an insane number to actually buy them from BMW, so I am a bit lost

I friend of mine has a G80 with the carbon buckets. He sold his and went half cage and Recaros similar to your plan. He initially started at ~$12K but ultimately had to drop the price to $5K to move them.

If you were selling 5K for both, I’d buy them easy. Not specing the buckets has been my biggest regret.
