M sport seats option poll

NorCalAthlete · 01-07-2021, 12:06 PM

Not available in US, but apparently you can order the individual parts and install them. This makes no sense to me - why not just let everyone have it as an option? From reading the other threads on the seats they're even made in the same factory, so it's not like "oh you can only get the M sport seats if your car is coming from Mexico" or something. I could be wrong here, like maybe you can get it from any factory EXCEPT Mexico, but...I think it should be an option.

So, post up if you got them and if they're even available where you are. Let's see if we can't get something tangible.

Normal sports seat:

new M Sports seat:

You can order the parts and piece them together but it sounds like a major undertaking. I was not able to get Merino leather, settled for the downgrade. I wanted ventilated seats, lost the side bolsters. If these seats were available and ventilated I prob would have ordered them.

if they were available, I would definitely get them. Would make me change my mind on the 540I maybe.

In Taiwan, the M seats are available for option after November, 2020. No matter g21 from Germany or g20 from Mexico.

It may help if you can post some pics of standard vs M sport seats

Had I known this I might have waited. Ordered back in August, wouldn't even accept individual color, car did not arrive until end of December and is still sitting in the dealer garage waiting for me to get out of quarantine.

What is the reason BMW doesn't offer these in America? It makes no sense at all !

Man I forgot about this poll but someone else just voted in it.

After 4 months and 7,000+ miles, I definitely wouldn't mind trying out these M sport seats. The stock ones are great don't get me wrong but on long trips they're definitely not quite as comfy as the ones I had in my SUV.

VetteGuy · 08-19-2021, 01:00 PM

I definitely would have ordered the M-Seats had they been an option.

sikotic · 08-19-2021, 01:05 PM

It drives me crazy that we can't get the sport seats in the US

Bimmerg621 · 08-19-2021, 01:05 PM

M sport seats as an option for US would have made the M340i absolutely top notch for me. I would definitely pay more for it if it came to that. Why can't we have nice things

In China, G20 you don't get sports seat, nor M sports seats. You only have this. I would definitely get sports seat or M sports seats if there is an option.(more hug and support)~~~
