M2 seats - How much can you sell them for?

Yes yes, enough about the seats already.

Let's say I wanted to install the M performance seats.
What you reckon the factory seats are worth? They can be put into any 1 or 2 series right?

Whatever someone is willing to pay?

Would have to be someone that wants M seats in a non M car which would be questionable.

I think you will have a very hard time selling the stock seats.

How many people are replacing their base 1/2 series seats? Likely very few. Of those people, who would pay for stock sport seats with blue stitching over an aftermarket solution...even fewer.

What the fuck is with the stupid questions on here lately??? I swear to God people are loosing common sense.

1. Go ask your local BMW dealership how much sport leather seats cost.

2. Add some M tax.

3. Cry in a corner because M Performance seats do not exist.

4. Find E8x/9x Performance seats for a small fortune.

5. Spend hours trying to code out the christmas tree lights and figure out how to plug them in.

6. Profit???

How much do you think the mirrors will sell for on the secondary market? It appears they are body color matching, will have significant value for M235i drivers who want to replace the silver stock mirrors with ///M2 mirrors.

Why is it stupid, am I missing something?
Maybe you can be a bit more clear, thanks.

There are two reasons, sir.

1. You are not sure if they fit into F2x 1 & 2 Series. Why? I am sure you've seen people crying how the seats are not good enough for the car as they are the same M Sport seats that you can get a in a 118d. I repeat, they are the same. They just have special stitching.

2. I am sure you have Google in UK so you can look up the prices of M Sport F2x seats or you can ask your local BMW dealer.

you'd be best off holding on to the factory seats and swapping them back in when it's time to sell the car

TBH I thought the M performance seats would fit the 2 series, but that's only based on the fact IND managed to install them... Thanks for the clarification on the stock seats - And yes, we do indeed have google

How about actually getting the car first before you part out the seats? By that time the worth of the seats will probably be out as well.

M3 seats vs M4 coupe seats

M2 has the same sport seats as any other f2x series cars.

Regarding the swap, i am focusing at this moment only for the frames.

This is the front seat frame for the M4 coupe:

And any other f2x series has the same frame:

From that point, they are interchangeable. (of course OP should take care of seat heating, seat memory, lumbart support, coding out christmas tree etc).
