Anyone seen the M seats in real life?

Hello

To anyone who might have seen the M seats with blue/orange stitching in real life. Are just most pictures around on the interwebs way oversaturated or do the seats (the blue/orange accents) look like this in real life?

Hi

Thanks for the pics, have seen them around as well. If the seats look like this in real life then they won‘t be for me

If they look like the pics in my first post i‘m in!

I really never liked the M3/4 seats, the Merino leather of course is way better than the M2 leather.

But what I do like the most of the standard M2 seats; they have an adjustable upper leg-extension, that is not the case with the M3/4 seats.

The standard M2 seats will do just fine IMHO !

I‘m still driving an E46 and leather quality back then was phenomenal, it still looks and feels great today. Dakota feels stiff and rough compared to it, definitely a step or two down from the good old Montana.

Either way (standard or m seats) there are no orher options in the M2C...

I do like the shape, look & hold of the m seats and the „design perforations“ do look OK on most videos. Most pictures on the other hand scare me to hell... if the perforations really look like that it will be a real issue to me.

I missed the competition at BMW welt which is a shame since i will be in Munich next weekend. Would have been a great chance to see them with my own eyes...

I was test driving an LCI M2 at the BMW Experience Center next to the swiss BMW headquater last friday. I‘ve been told that the competition from the bmw welt is on his way to them now. So i might get a chance to visit them again next week to have a look at the seats before i place my order for the M2C.

The seats in the LCI M2 looked good in just black and felt good as well. So if the m seats’ perforation really look so awful in person the normal seats will be fine and let me save a few bucks for some cf extras...

Had an E46 M3 as well. Comfortable, but not a huge fan of the tacked on headrest look. My favorite seats were E36 Vader seats. To me the M4 seats come closest to a modern day Vader.

The base M2 seats look basic and boring, like normal BMW seats. For me the sport seats are at the top of the list of must have options.

I am on the road with this (still iconic) car, but it‘s not an M3 :-) http://www.e46fanatics.de/coupe/773-...e46-330ci.html

Would be really happy to get the new m seats in the M2C, but the perforation just looks weird from the side...

I want to order on 16th of may after getting back from munich and not wait untill aug/sep/oct to see them in person.. :/

Check these photos: https://f87.bimmerpost.com/forums/sh....php?t=1487356

Non-edited and showing how the seats look! This is how they really look! The Orange color is less in your face than the blue, I think, but I only saw the blue ones.
