Z4MR/C Seats are Boring

Caddyshk · 07-25-2007, 06:37 AM

Anyone but me find the M seats in the Z4 lackluster in appearence? The embossed M in the head rest stands out like a tree in a forest. Has anyone considered or done an upgrade such as stitching the signature ///M colors into the head rest?

Aesthetically I think it looks fine. It would be nice if we had the choice of 2 tone leather though. My beef with the seats is that there's no neck support. I'm afraid that I'll get a horrible neck injury if I ever get rear ended. That thing needs an adaptive headrest.

I agree. I have a coupe with M seats. It feels like there should be something embroidered but its not.

Ever consider going with aftermarket seats?

I'm looking at replacing my stock non supportive seats with a pair of Status or Recaro buckets... maybe some OMP's.. i dunno...

One of these days I'm dumping the OEM seats. Utter garbage. My Volkswagen has more support then that crap of an excuse for a seat.

Yeah, well so is mine! Nothing wrong with OEM. BTW, I like your colour combo (I don't think I've seen AW/Beige before)! What trim have you got, Aluminum or Wood?

Are you referring to the regular seats or the M seats?

Take a look at some of the owners pics on this website. A lot of them have racing buckets.

Was referring to the regular seats... crap crap crap...
I'd be more content with M seats, so hell might as well get buckets as they're probably cheaper than M seats.

Gotta say, those Recaro SP-JC 350 Limited seats look very slick. Look like they came like that from the factory.

I kind of have both? I have some wood but then like the trim is kind of aluminum because of the paddle shifters. I wold prefer no wood. I feel like Im sitting in a lawyers office or something. This is what happens youre impatient with car buying.

I think wood works with your colour combo. Too bad our Zeds don't come with the option for grey poplar wood trim. That would be the only wood trim I'd even mull over.

Ah well... live and learn, I guess.
