Swapping to carbon bucket seats

Skooba1231 · 11-30-2023, 08:27 AM

Anyone know if this is a fairly easy swap? Going from leather to carbon buckets?
Thanks in advance

The difficulty of the swap is not the problem. It should be a direct swap. Finding and buying carbon buckets will be the hard part. I saw somewhere that they cost about $15k a piece of you buy them from BMW.

Do you know the part number?

Thank you for that, found the seats but decided to put my name down for the CS and stick with the leather seats for now

They weren't orange carbon buckets you passed on, were they?

You can buy them new here, about USD$32,000 for a pair (plus shipping from Switzerland): https://pfisterautotechnik-shop.ch/p...eather-merino/

Do the G82 carbon seats fit the G87?

J-RO · 08-07-2024, 03:07 PM

If I had an extra $32,000 I would have bought a different car.

Anybody dumb enough to do this would never admit to it.

I’m ordering G87 carbon buckets on my 2025 build then swapping them for comfort seats and money. I’ll keep you guys posted closer to my order.

BroDoze · 08-11-2024, 01:02 PM

Hmmm. Tempting. How much are the 2025 comfort seats new?

Or are you trading with a current comfort seat owner…

ourlee · 08-11-2024, 04:41 PM

I’ll be swapping with a current M2 or M4 owner.

You still planning to swap it?

ourlee · 11-19-2024, 03:57 PM

I’m getting zero offers. I was more motivated when there was a chance I wanted to keep the buckets but I’ve ruled them out after I got a 30 minute ride in them.
I’m ordering my car by end of month, you want buckets?

Carefree · 11-21-2024, 03:10 PM

Which month?
Better yet, what year?

DutchBoysRacing · 11-26-2024, 11:28 PM

Hell, I'm selling my carbons for less than BMW and it'll save you 5k OP

I'd put the $32k into Bitcoin for 12 months and buy a Lambo next year...
