She's gorgeous! Seeing those carbon buckets makes me feel better about my life choices considering that I would have had the car 6 months ago if not for choosing the carbon pack.

Curious to know how shifting is with the CB seats? I love them- only reason I did not get them was in fear of the middle piece hindering leg movement when stepping on the clutch. I'm also 6ft 195-200lbs and heard they may get tight for anyone with a wider frame. I probably would have pulled the trigger if they did not have that middle carbon piece, however they're so good looking!

Neither effect literally anything, and come into play zero times. theyre the best factory seats on the market and you use the clutch and shift it no different than any other manual car. for reference 6'1, 220. built like a hot ass linebacker. somewhere between yoked to the gills, and gross beer gut. if that clears up nothing for you |

It depends on technique used for heel-toe, but in my case I pivot the right leg so my foot is at about 45 degrees across the brake and throttle peddles, ball of the foot on the brake, heel on the mat infront of the throttle and side of foot used to blip the throttle with an ankle flex. This requires the right knee to be almost touching the left knee and over the centerline of the seat, the hump prevents this unless the seat is moved too close to the pedals and lifts the legs off the seat squab. Overall the hump makes heel-toe operation uncomfortable and lacking in smoothness, as it gets in the way of leg movement for every downshift. |

I tried them in the M3 before ordering my G87, didn't work well for me. As a seat position comparison I'm strapped in in my Caterham in a tight harness with no ability to move in the seat, I use the same leg position there with my left knee almost touching the side of the narrow footwell and right knee over the centre line of the seat, below the centre of the steering wheel and just about touching the left knee.
I may be a case of 'padding' in the legs, mine are all bone and muscle with the tendons behind my knee dragging on the carbon fibre seat hump in the M3 when I tried out heel-toeing in it. Hopefully the photos explain better: Last edited by aerobod; 10-05-2023 at 03:17 PM.. Reason: Added photos |

Well I picked mine up today and what a great experience. The car turned out as I envisioned and although my patience was tested over several months it was worth the wait and drive.
Speaking of the drive it took every piece of energy not to push it hard especially when hitting the paddles . |

Finally after getting on a list almost a year and a half ago and 4 months after getting my allocation, it's been delivered. Oh and I lost the tire lottery and no M clips on the rear calipers. The M4 convertible didn't have the rear caliper clips either which was odd.

I just saw the Marine Traffic app on my phone and just started shaking my head. Thought I’d check in on here too. Your car looks good man. Mines still at detail shop so they wait for me continues, but it’ll be tinted and protected when finished. 🤙🏻
