It's really hard to tell. I want to say it has them, but I can't tell if it's just my mind telling me I what to see. The buckets would be huge on this car if available, they're the only thing I liked about my G82 when I owned it. If the new M2 has them as an option I'll likely get one.
Are they really worth $3,800+ in upgrade? That's a heck of a lot of money. Residual value on them is probably only 20%…. Do they improve the experience that much??
You can't really buy seats like that for anywhere near that price. Its a steal. But it's not a no brainer. Modern M cars are still mainly daily drivers and GTs. The new M stock seats are really damn good (finally). As someone who always springs for the sport seat option, this is one of the few cars I wouldn't simply because the stock seat is so competent and fits the cars character well.
Over on the g80 board a lot of people don't like owning the bucket seats because getting in and out is difficult for some. Others find them uncomfortable in some way. They're a steal if you want bucket seats, but the question is do you really want bucket seats?
