Bucket seat recommendations?

Glovis · 03-12-2024, 12:30 PM

Hi all, I am thinking about getting a bucket seat for my M2. I have the OEM seat but I want something that bolster my hip more.

Found a really good deal - 400 for a pair of https://www.bimmerworld.com/BMW-Part...GRP-Seats.html

It is worth the upgrade? any other options?

Besides the seat swap, you will need to code for SRS and other options that are OEM seat dependent, such as the weight sensor, heating, etc. Just unplugging the OEM seats will generate lots of error messages.

The recaro podium is pretty damn cool. And it weighs like 6kg.

Surprisingly so.

Not on the level of comfort the bmw buckets provide but acceptable for what they weigh.
