Also the M8, so a 330i now has the same seats as the flagship M8

Good news for the 330i but not sure for the M8 driver

Looks like a crappier form of the seats in my x4mc. Does the M light up still in the headrest?

It’s actually the same seat. No need to try to denigrate the seat by calling it a Crappier version.

Agree. And it doesn't light up in the headrest since it's not a real M car. It's a black plastic badge.

Relax folks, it's just a seat. I'm happy BMW is offering these options to us.

Seen these seats in the G22, they seem to have more padding in them compared the seats in my '20, a lot more comfortable and look the part as well

Don't understand why BMWUS won't introducing these seats, they made a lot strange decisions. Btw, how to adjust the headrest, didn't see the button to adjust that.

It seems that it can't be bent forward or backward. Only move up/down probably.

The M seats look really amazing... That’s the plus side (and worthty picking them).

The downside to me is that they could be holding you more in place compared to the standard seats. The adjustability of the seats could be better.

Well consider the day to day driving in the USA. Most of the time it is spent in traffic, straight line, going to make a 90 degree turn.

If you drive in EU, there are many turns sweepers etc.. these seats make sense. Its not a dig at you, but an explanation.

It's great that we have a forum where we can freely blurt anything out that happens to cross our minds! .... boobs. ... er ... at least my thought doesn't appear to be passive aggressive...

the extra shoulder padding looks great, but it makes it easier to crease for those who put their hand in the passenger seat while reversing

Not a fan. Overstyled and more form vs function.

Yep, folks can now order a fully loaded m340i (or whatever they're calling it these days) for just about $7k less than the real thing; brilliant by bmw.

Different leather too I think? Merino in the F97/98 and G80/82.

Regardless they’re ok seats but not as comfortable as the M5’s.
