So they look fugging fantastic have any of you oz owners had the pleasure of sitting in a set of these?

[Rob32R]

Do you have a spare $5.5-$6k Shane to throw away for seats? If you are keen Southernbm in Melbourne would be able to get you in a set.

Well they can be sourced cheaper than that according to a mate

[Chismakop]

Where?

[Rob32R]

I think you will need to change your timber trim to the brushed aluminium or carbon fibre if you do end up going down this route. What dollars are we talking about Shane?

[DR-JEKL]

Im just curious to gain some feedback as to what they are like, but around $4K a set for these rebadged recaro's.

TBH my car atm is a weekender, but eventually will be a daily so they probably wont be suitable especially for the larger folk like myself!

[Stuart@BMRAutowerkes]

They look awesome.

For the price? No... a set of quality recaros will do me.

[Rob32R]

You could not have said it any better Stu. This guy knows his sh*t

Shane, take a look at Recaro Sportsters or Recaro Style. http://www.recaro-automotive.com/au/...ket-seats.html

fwiw i believe these are recaros anyway, but BMW labelled...

A bit showy especially with the seat belt holes when there is no possible way to use them in a stock car. However I did sit in them when the demo car was travelling around Australia a year or two ago. Very nice, but not worth the big $$ especially if your passenger doesn't like the seats.

[Rob32R]

I stand corrected, thanks Suj.

Don't listen to the haters!!! They are baller mate!!!

Don't think I could give up my seat warmers for them though.

Nope you keep the airbags, (you can seen them on the passanger side of the picture).. this is also why the seats are so expensive compared to Recaro's or alike)

And I would desperately LOVE a set.. but with a white leather rear seat

[sbce90]

AHh yeh i see it, these have airbags.

Put it this way, if you have the money for it - GO FOR IT!

[pavo335]

The recaro ones have airbag and heated seats........mmmmm tempted. I wonder what the weight difference is?

Yes they have airbags and heater elements (which can be retrofitted) I believe they are 3-4kg lighter each

[HecticX5]

Have them in my X5 uleh, i can corner without my body slamming up against the door now. Comfortable for up to an hour driving, haven't had a road trip where im behind the wheel for a few hours yet.
