Did you actually pay ~$17k for the seats?

Hats off to people like OP who pour so much money into these builds.
Cheapskates like myself will never mod our cars. |

This is a very purposeful build. Everything you’d need to make it an enjoyable track car, without anything you don’t need. The seats are a splurge, but I’m sure they add a lot of enjoyment to the experience. Thinking ahead, the seats could easily be moved into the OP’s next car as a way to amortize their cost over a long time

Great build, looks like an awesome track weapon......but 16k for some basic buckets when there are tons (and literally I mean tons) of equivalents for 1/6 the price is completely asinine. There isn't 8k worth of research/tech, materials or manufacturing in each of those seats with the rails!! I don't understand how BMW can justify that. Damn.
I do applaud IND for attempting to, and ripping BMW guys off with pricing like that....you guys are nuts for supporting them! And I thought the painted reflector pricing was a middle finger to us BMW owners. Jesus Christ. **edit, just saw IND institutes their own oem tax on shit. Terrible. |

Nicely done!!
I’m curious, what lbs/in rate did you chose for the rear springs? I’m pondering an Ohlins setup...

Sorry OP but anyway good job mate, but personally I can't see the $ = satisfaction with this build.
It has same weight as stock car, better suspension, way bigger IC without a remap. But what about brakes upgrade as this was advertised as clubsport build. |

I went with the Ohlins-recommended set up of 514 lbs front and 1085 lb/in rear. Drives well and not too harsh at all unless you really dial-up the damping on the street

Impressive build ! The seats are incredible and I want to buy your car when you move to next project.
Before this M2C what were you're last cars ? I do have to ask, are you in tech i.e Rock Star coder & programmer ? Honestly what's your occupation - I'm clearly doing something wrong, how does one afford this ? Please I gotta know.

I love the seats and may have considered them without the 1 in front of the 6,680, but for what IND is asking for them I would definitely go a different route. Paying almost 1/3 the cost of the car for buckets seems insane to me, but I do appreciate other members taking the plunge so I can remember how poor I am
