I NEED those seats and the steering wheel....

Thanks for the find!

Cyruz · 02-24-2008, 09:57 AM

omg those seats are sick....it might get me divorced but holy shit if the fit the 335 ill sleep on the couch for a month or so.

Last E92 M3 · 02-24-2008, 10:17 AM

sick products.
seats, rear spoiler, mirror, brakes, wheels ... drool

jaaz · 02-24-2008, 10:27 AM

+1 for the seats, wheels and steering wheel.

We know the price of the wheels, do we have any idea as to the NA price of the seats and steering wheel?

Hotan Braskey · 02-24-2008, 11:06 AM

I would doubt that those seats would be sold in the US. It looks like they do not have side airbags, so I would be surprised if they get the green light here- sadly. The brakes look very promising, though. Can anything be inferred from the yellow color, being that several other companies reserve yellow calipers for their carbon brakes?

Dinan540 · 02-24-2008, 11:12 AM

I don't know what picture you're looking at Hotan but the pic in this post clearly shows "AIRBAG" on the side of seat??? BMW wouldn't design an aftermarket seat that couldn't be sold in their largest market.

Gooby · 02-24-2008, 01:13 PM

Remonster · 02-24-2008, 02:29 PM

In post #3 (the one showing the Google home page on the iDrive screen) is it just me or is that a new center console design (the A/C controls especially) is that what the facelifted E9x interior looks like?

BCoBaby · 02-24-2008, 03:42 PM
