I know we're busy with COVID and all that but... legislation needs to be put in place to ban glossy black plastic from cars.

The problem I anticipate from the photos is actually getting into them. The lower side wing is enormous and the space between the lower and upper side wings is almost non-existent.

So, one option is to jump into the seat - over the lower side wing - which is not advised. 90 degree entry, which is typical for sport seats, really does not look feasible given the nearly non-existent space between the lower and upper side wings.

In summary, the seats are fantastic looking, appear very functional in terms of comfort and stability . . . but a royal pain in the ass to get into.

In addition to entry/exit difficulty, I would not be surprised if an early complaint of owners is breakdown of the lower side wing leather/upholstery due to entry and exist stress.

Observation and suggestion based on 'spy photos' acknowledged as hardly being facts.

Absolutely. BMW leather is garbage so it will absolutely disintegrate from owners who get into their seats in a traditional manner. Since most M cars are used to get groceries, this will be an important consideration. I suspect those seats will be optional.
