I went with the seat backs because my OCD needs them to match the arm rest, even though I only see the sides of them.

Ive gone full mental break down and decided to go full CF all round as soon as I decided I needed the Black side skirts and rear bumper colour coded to BG. I saw R44 do this and it makes a massive improvement for me.

The car had been specced rear debadged (Inc. X drive) on order and the dealer is going to put my black one on for me. I'm going to fit the rest so a little apprehensive but should be ok.

Been told to expect it June 2023.

Pics will be posted as I get stuff in.




Here's my build spec from my E46 330Ci, I wont be going this far again! LOL

I really like your spec pretty much identical to mine. The only thing u absolutely hated was the aluminum trim. Didn't fit the car well at all and immediately changed it out for gloss baldk

I'm jealous you can option the seat back of the m seats. We can't get them in US.

Can't you? I presumed your dealers would just order it from Germany Corby like ours? I've had to order them separately I couldn't do it on the Configurator if that's what you mean.

[DriftKing860]

The seats in the US are standard; not m seats. They have different back compared to the back of M seats.
