Replica Bucket Seats

Hey everyone, after browsing around for a while and not fidning much, i’d figured I should come onto here and try to get an answer. I have a 23’ F90 and have been trying to find bucket seats to fit into the car for a couple months now. My questions are
, have they been done before? And are there any companies selling it for less than the 26 thousand BMW is charging? Thanks!

Sparco SPX might be worth looking at. Not sure if it is what you want and I have not read of any examples in the F90. But I think BMW put it in the E92 M3 GTS.

Day Laborer had someone selling buckets from a G87 M2 recently. If those are effectively the same I think they were being sold <$5000.

I read they are the same — M2, M4, M5CS. Brackets probably differ. $5k is a great price for them.

I'm more concerned about your West Virginia lawn with all the weeds, how many cars can you park on the grass?

In W Va, you can probably have a fleet of unregistered project cars on the front yard. And you can buy 27 acres with a barn for less than the price of a 2 bedroom big city condo. I compromised on a half acre lot in a small New England city with a 24x30 carriage house and think my wife would divorce me if we moved further away from civilization.

Yea, flag me down if you see me in one of these.
I told the guy in Mexico I will take the seats and he ended up selling it to someone else. Looking forward to seeing how you make the seats work.

Wasn't this your e34 next to our e46?

As a born and bred West by God Virginian, I resent, I mean, resemble those remarks. . . But, you forgot to mention our couches on our front porches!
