M2 Competition Seats fit in OG M2?
Do you guys think the M2 Competition seats will fit in the OG M2? For an M car, the OG M2 really should of been given some nicer seats. Just wondering if you guys think people will be able to easily retrofit this on the older M2 models.
I'm guessing it might be tough to get the logo to light up |

I'm getting a set of M4 seats installed end of the week in my LCI. They fit. They are the same as the M2C seats...except they are better leather Merino v. Dakota...and they have a custom Alcantara insert instead of those tacky blue or orange patches. I bought them from a guy who had them installed in his M2 but is selling it, so he parted out the seats and a few other pieces. Sales thread is in the Regional/Canada forum if you want to see pics.

Yup they fit and I am working with another member here and my dealer to find out what it costs to do it.
As soon as my M2C has arrived, I will work out a package for you guys here to see what the total costs are based on a dealer installing them. In the end, we then know what the max costs are and that it can only be cheaper than what I suggest. MR |

I'm not that OCD. in the LCI, there is grey "stitching" on the dash and the knee pad...so it's not consistent to begin with. Plus IMO the upgrades (leather, alcantara) outweigh the stitching.

I was told by my go-to parts manager that the new seats have to be made to order, as in the price is not set as a pre-made package, but rather you need to pay for the individual pieces separate like the leather, the alcantara, etc.
Anyone hear otherwise? |

the good thing is, I've disassembled the m4 seats, and it isn't hard to put together, the bad part is, it'll be insanely expensive as buying spare parts (which is what you'll be doing) is always overpriced (as an example, the seat base leather costs USD1000, this is JUST the leather, not even including the backrest leather)

You ordered the Merino leather material by an part number(s) individually or it comes as one piece, and you cut-to-fit it ? |

Even if you can get the Merino I would avoid it personally if the car is a daily driver. If you look at pics of the M3/M4 after like 30k miles the leather looks beat to hell on most cars. It feels nice, not as artificial and rubbery as Dakota, but Dakota will still look great 5 years from now.

JB - looking at the photos - bigger side bolsters give added benefit of "Braille parking for yr ar$e" when getting into yr car now !!!
