Yes, looking at these pictures on my mobile, it looks good. Certainly on styling they do not seem out of place. What interior spec from the M2 are these (what color is the stitching)? Since the 1M was denied having anything better as the sportseats of the day, anything seat with bucket/additional bolstering features will look more appropriate.
Are these fully functional wrt seat positioning, memory and heating. Any details on coding would be interesting for the community. How does the lowest seat height compare to the stock seats? |

As a measure of the lower seating position, my left elbow (LHD car) used to naturally rest on the door-card armrest and now falls just below the armrest with seat in lowest position (I actually prefer this). I think my feet hit the pedals at a better angle. My right elbow now naturally rests on the center armrest, where it didn't quite reach this armrest before. My guess is these are just as low (maybe lower) as 1er manual seats. |

This may explain why getting back into the 1M after driving the CS for a while feels like I'm in an SUV!

This looks proper. how hard were the seats to find? I've been on the fence of getting Max's Recaro with orange stitching, but this method keeps it less race-car, which i like.

I was just researching the idea of swapping F8x seats, found some threads saying it was fairly straightforward, went to eBay and found these for sale all in the same day. It seemed a little impulsive at the time, but I'm quite pleased with how it turned out. I honestly didn't know the M2 competition got special seats with alcantara on the sides; I was actually looking for carbon cloth seats.

If you're looking for comfort, 1 series isn't your platform
That said, they are a little less plush (less cushioning) than sport seats the car came with. Overall, I think the better seating position offsets the reduction in cushioning and creates a more comfortable driving experience. |

Trying to revive the thread!
PRTSB1M Any details on wiring or how the install went? I can’t seem to find any other info on this retrofit. |
