I didn't read anything about that. When playing on the configurator I noticed BMW has added an option for the M Sports seat. Don't confuse them with the normal sports seats that were available as well. This is a new seat with integrated headrests, similar to those offered in the X3.
Normal sports seat: new M Sports seat: You can get those seats with any engine, BTW - from the 1.5L three-banger 318i to the 330e hybrid to the M340i. Also the diesels in Europe of course. I also noticed they added the already-known-to-be-coming red break calipers: |

Sucks. Wish that had been available in Canada from launch.

Someone already posted the BMW USA 2021 configurator and it doesn't look like the seats are an option unfortunately. Maybe a EU thing only?

Those should have came stock man; maybe for the facelift they'll offer these stock. Always wondered why we didn't get sportier looking seats in the M340i compared to the S5/C43. The seats helps to convey the nature of the car.

Those actually look like the standard seats spotted on the upcoming G80/82/83. Interesting. I can't imagine BMW would do actually do that there must be some differences i can't see.

They honestly don't look that different from standard seats. Larger shoulder area, redesigned headrest, and different pattern, but basic bolsters look the same. We'll have to see IRL though. Other than vernasca leather being kinda crappy, I like the standard seats well enough.

Has BMW NA ever explained why they hate the US so much? They hold back so many of the good options.

In the US, if you order a car in a unique spec (e.g. that green exterior/red interior M8 on the front page a couple days ago), the dealer has the risk of you not buying the car in the end. So they tend not to offer options that only a minority of people want. In some cases, the dealer may be able to order the parts and retrofit them. It will be more expensive, of course. |

When you say "pay", I presume you mean you pay a small deposit only? I've never paid anything other than a £500/€600 deposit when ordering a new BMW/Audi or whatever. The balance I pay just before collection.

15% for a standard 3 series would be about €10k to put it into perspective. |
