- Today we are reviewing the carbon fiber bucket seats in the 2022 BMW M3 and M4 G80/G82! These seats are amazing and I wanted to make a video doing a review on them! I did a long car ride in these so I can finally say whether or not they are good for that, the comfort, the functionality and more!
Let me know your thoughts below :)

I LOVE the look of these, but for daily driving I’m not that convinced!! Great video, love the car!
It’s actually not too bad but has its cons! Thank you!
I know once you’re in them they feel amazing, it’s just getting in and out! But they really do make you feel like you’re in a supercar.
@@yaboibakalli what are the cons?
The only part about the buckets that’s a pain is the getting in and out but driving daily no issue I love mine
same. For a long trip maybe but for daily driving where I have to get in and out multiple times a day I can't do it.
Thank you for taking the time to put this together. At 6'6", I've not encountered a better driving position. I'm clicking the box!
As far as looks, those are some of the best looking car seats I've seen
I agree totally!
100% worth it!! carbon buckets are soooo nice. Great video :)
Agreed and thanks!
Fun fact at BMW they told me most of the guys drift in the buckets instead of proper tracking which has more dynamic change of lateral g-forces therefore you are pushed to the sides more often and the high support help you maintain a safe driving position. They know their customers and they offer them the best! Love the company
A great and balanced review of these beautiful seats. I get the wow factor and their performance, but I will stick with the comfort seats on my M3 order. I will be using the car a lot and I value comfort and durability. Plus I don’t want my passengers struggling to get in and out.
Thats totally fair. Thanks for the comment! Congrats on your order
Yep I decided with regular seats. I'm a light guy but it wasn't worth it as a dd
agreed
Passenger was also my concern and the reason I ordered normal seats. I can easily get in and out of any kind of seat.
For me the best looking ”not super car seats”! Love em’😍
I agree!!
Great video. I just got mine today same exterior color as urs. The seats are great…for track, which is why I bought the car. Lots of daily they seem like theyd be annoying. Also, there’s someone out there that makes a cover for the outside bolster to prevent wear and tear.
Im also torn between the two options. I’ve now started seeing some M3’s with over 10K mileage on the bucket seats and the bottom cushion starts to wrinkle bad. Like you stated in your video, over time how are the seats going to look specially maybe 2-4 years into ownership.
Nice review
At 6"4 and 240 tried these at the dealership and I'm skipping on these . They r good looking but a daily driver getting in and out not worth it for me ☺️.
It’s meant for Normal people not for freak oak tree
I'm 6'6" and 205; the seats felt fantastic for me.
@@KimChi4Lifeguarantee ur girl likes oak tree 😂
I love the seat , I have no problem getting in and out. And it look better than regular seat.
The carbon buckets are cool and all but man is that Aventurin Red so good, does it look darker in person than pictures? I imagine it kind of like a dark cherry with slight orange or bright red metallic flake? Looks like it just comes alive when the sun hits it, great spec!
Thank you! Yes the color changes in the light, sometimes it looks like a dark red wine and sometimes a very bright cherry. It’s very dynamic
Can you please tell me what the exterior colour of your M4 is? Thank you.
Just curious: Whats the purpose of the thing in the middle of the seat between the legs? Is it just a design element or does it have also a functionality?
Awesome video. Sucks that getting these in the G87 forces a $9,000+ carbon package that should be split apart, in my opinion. Subscribed to follow along with this beautiful spec
What color car is this??? It’s beautiful!!
I'm soooo glad I opted them, first I didn't and changed my mind after the test drive with them.
Yes in- and egress are a pita, but once youre in they are comfy and soooo special. Altough im a fat fu... i fit in very well.
Hahaha yeah they are worth it. What’s your exterior spec?
Only other downside no option for ventilation option. Great video
Beautiful m4, I want those seats in my fk8 haha
The wife and I are looking into the g80m3
Do you think it’s a good daily driver ?
Great video I was so torn on my order. I didn't choose them in the end because my commute is 30 min and didn't want to deal with it daily. Using the 3800 for pipe mods instead. I got the Cf inlets I think that is a must even if u got black accents
Any lower back strains or pains? Because your knees are higher than your hips
When I complained about the same lower back push from a German machine, I was told to sit more upright😮
Man I'm so on the fence with these seats right now. I live down in Houston and the base seats can be equipped with the vented option and seem so comfortable, but these carbon fiber seats look great, it's the toughest decision of the purchase honestly. Problem is with inventory the way it is no one has a car with the regular seats and another with the carbon so I can try them both out.
Got the regular seats, but I'm huskier and in AZ, ventilated seats is a great option.
@setalias what did you end up choosing? I’m in Houston as well and am in the process of finalizing my build….
@@mmccorm11 I went with the standard seats with ventilation and love it. I've sat in a few cars with the carbon and they're nice, but the standard vented are super clutch down here on the hot days. I especially like turning on heat and vent at the same time.
@@mmccorm11 when I order the next build I'll do the vented again. If I can pay for a carbon back on the vented seats I will, but the bolster and no ventilation, nah, the standard seats feel great and hold you in place well and look great
@@setalias and did you get automatic or manual? That’s where I’m stuck…. The additional torque on the comp model is ridiculous, but I wish I didn’t have to compromise
Thanks...all these reviews and I have yet to learn how a lady in a dress or skirt exits the carbon seats without exposing.... There must have been hundreds of reviews of the M4 carbon seats during 2021 and 2022, yet not one review demonstrating a lady entering/exiting the car while in a dress/skirt. Your thoughts greatly appreciated.
Put your left hand behind your back on the doorsill to get in and out. It'll save your bolster from a lot of wear.
Thanks for the tip! I’ll try that!!
I predict that you will have a new car long before the side bolster leather wears out :)
i sat in an m4 with these seats yesterday and my immediate response was... why the heck would anyone want this in a daily driver! crazy uncomfortable
WHAT IS YOUR PROFESSION HOW DO YOU AFFORD THESE CARS?
The REAL issue here is BMW is raising the base price of the G80/G82 by a flat $3700 for MY23. It's also rumored that these seats are also going from $3900 -> $4500 as options. Honestly getting into just ridiculous territory lol. I plan on ordering a G80 xDrive, but with the recent bump in pricing, I'm gonna have to ditch the killer looking seats.
This! The seats cost almost as much as X Drive, are they worth 4+ grand? maybe
Are they worth 4+ grand MORE than the sport seats, absolutely not!
I’m trying to keep this car under $90,000, the sport seats will have to do
Yes. The bolsters are going to get damaged in time. How much would it cost to replace ? I think you would need to buy new seats.
Not sure honestly but I guarantee they aren’t cheap haha
@@yaboibakalli you should ask how much would they cost ? Hahaha
if you're extra careful when getting in/out you'll be fine.. just be careful on the girls you choose to take out in this car haha
IND makes some protectors. Worth checking out.
Can you also adjust the height of the seats?
Yes. Electric slide, electric base tilt and height, electric side bolster tightness.
Manual back tilt I think, certainly the back release to access the back seats is manual unlike the normal seats.
I basically have the same spec as your car but I chose the ivory white buckets seats. In my opinion they are a must because these might very well be the last bmws being ICE so having this as an option makes these cars very desirable later on
Couldn't agree more on the review. Coming from a fellow "boney buttocks" m4 owner
Ahahahaha us boney buttocks owners have to stick together
@@yaboibakalli lol! Boney buttocks stick together!
I am a big guy and I can get in fine and be pretty comfortable BUT getting out is rough. There is a method that will help getting out you kinda have to lift yourself over the edge. Also my girl didn’t like them and they aren’t heated so she’s out.
I definitely regret getting the comfort seats lol
Comfort seats still not that bad!
@@yaboibakalli I might just have to put my name down for a CS! At least I chose twilight purple for this one though
Just ordered one today. The getting in and out of the those seats is a non-starter.... got the regular seats. Also, the wear and tear on them... no thanks. Also, the inability to adjust the head rest would annoy me. They look great however, love the look of your car.
...and I just noticed you sold the car, lol.
For me the only pros are they look good n that some what hug u feeling. There a lot of cons for me, I drove 2 hours the other day and my back hurts A LOT, I never had this bad of a back pain before(I'm only 21). If you have stuff in ur pockets it will push against the side arms so u feel uncomfortable. Getting in and out of the car is a real pain cuz of the side arms. My friend call them the nut crackers. U are more likely to Crack ur nuts if u are driving, dur to the staring wheel. First ur kneels hit the wheel then loose balance then u hear a crack. I had the car for almost 10 days now, I'm starting to regret getting the bucket seats.
Hahaha nut cracker, that’s hilarious. Yeah it honestly really varies person to person. I def feel pain sometimes but not too bad.
Oh yeah it's not good for your back if you have stuff in your back pocket ex. Wallet
@@watsonanthony8438 agreed. Shouldn't drive with stuff in your pockets no matter what car you are in.
these seats really put people into sleep, 100% agreed
Pro:
Look
Quality
Hold
Cons:
Pain after >3h
Cracks sometimes / dull noise
Owner of a M4x with carbon-buckets since January 2022 // me: 5'11 & 210pound
My honest opinion:
A must have in a m4 (-> cause the back is more visible than in a m3)
What do you mean by the back is more visible compared to the m3?
@@dereku.6334 my fault, sorry. I mean, carbon-fibre. Everytime you open the door, you can see the beautiful Carbon-fibre. In the m3 you can't - unless you open the doors of the second row.
Agree with most of that! I haven’t felt too much pain though yet!
I got tint you can't see my seats lol
Dont skip leg day
looking good. but doesn't work on the track. especially when you are on skinny side. you end up have to change up to true bucket seat for the track. so no..... the m4 doesn't need this. but for the look ill go for it. if you don't have it dong' regret. they are not worth it
No they are worth $4500 now :)
Dem calves tho
Buy me a drink first before you hit on me!
These seats look incredible but every single person I've seen recommending them are young and string bean thin. Ask a guy who deadlifts 600lbs or a guy who might frequent the local buffet how comfy they are. Let alone a 50 year old guy who goes to that buffet. I'm not even that big and these are too tight across the shoulders.
I have a new one leased and I want to return it. Their SEATS ARE SHIT. MAJOR DISAPPOINTMENT.
Car performance is so wonderful. You’re girlfriend is just a girlfriend. If you had a wife the answer would be The SEATS ARE SHIT.
I’m 5’2” and around 435 lbs. I just am not sure if those seats would be comfy for me
😭😂
