Will these fit my BMW M?

Direct fitment is confirmed for the G80 M3, G82 M4, and G87 M2, subject to final confirmation of the vehicle specification before production. The F80, F82, and F87 require the original computer module to be transferred from the factory seat and must be confirmed for the exact car before ordering. Every other chassis, including F90, G90, F92, F93, F06, BMW M SUVs, XM, Z4 G29, and Toyota GR Supra A90, requires fitment confirmation before ordering. Submit your vehicle model, production year, chassis code, steering side, and market specification. No VIN is required.

Is installation different on G chassis versus F chassis?

Yes. For the G80, G82, and G87, the seats are configured for direct installation after the vehicle specification is confirmed. If active ventilation is selected, installation is followed by one diagnostic computer pass. For the F80, F82, and F87, the installer transfers the original computer module from the factory seat. Active ventilation on F chassis applications requires confirmation for the exact car before ordering. Every other chassis requires an installation procedure to be confirmed before ordering. Installation must be completed by a qualified workshop.

Is seat heating included? What about ventilation?

Seat heating is included as standard. For the G80, G82, and G87, optional active ventilation uses the vehicle comfort seat protocol and is controlled through the infotainment system. Installation requires one diagnostic computer pass. Ventilation availability for F chassis cars, non M chassis cars, and vehicles without a factory ventilation option is confirmed for the exact car before production.

Do these seats have side airbags?

Yes. Built in side airbags are included. The airbag units are sourced from the same contract manufacturer that supplies BMW. CarbonXtreme does not develop or manufacture the airbag units. Installation and system checks must be completed by a qualified workshop. The customer remains responsible for applicable local road, inspection, and insurance requirements.

What is the difference between the three tiers?

OEM Spec is the factory OEM color palette in German-imported OEM Merino leather, at the most accessible price. Heritage Fabric adds custom non-OEM colors, two-tone block designs, and vintage Heritage Pattern fabric centers — you choose a pattern family on that page. Bespoke Leather is a fully bespoke, one-of-one build with a dedicated designer. Compare them here: OEM Spec · Heritage Fabric · Bespoke Leather.

How customizable are the seats, and can I match my interior?

On OEM Spec, we use the same Merino leather sourced from the same supplier that supplies BMW factory interiors. The leather specification, grain, and factory color are identical to the corresponding BMW material. Any visible difference may come only from normal variation in natural leather or from aging in the existing interior. We confirm your selected factory color before production. On Heritage Fabric, you choose a pattern family together with the color direction. On Bespoke Leather, a dedicated designer confirms the leather, colors, quilting, stitching, piping, and any additional cost with you in writing before production.

Production, shipping, and what is in the crate?

This product is made to order. Contact us before ordering for the current production schedule. The listed price is for one pair of complete front bucket seat assemblies. Each seat includes its structural frame, bottom slider mechanism, and complete seat body. Current shipping methods, prices, and transit estimates are maintained in the Shipping Estimate section on this page. Complete seat sets ship in wooden crates with liftgate delivery, and the carrier unloads the crate. Use your installation workshop as the delivery address when practical.

Where does it ship from, duties, and returns?

Import duties and customs clearance are included in your shipping rate, with no additional fee. Components carrying BMW-branded elements may ship separately, at no extra cost, for compliance reasons. As a made-to-order build, orders accept a 30-day cancellation window before production lock; once production begins, orders are non-refundable. We are in the early launch phase — if we lower the price within 30 days of your purchase, we refund you the difference.
