Z4 M Seat Swap for Regular Seats

Considering buying a Z4 coupe and I have found the car I want minus one thing - M seats. I go about 2 bills and am wide. I just drove the M coupe and the M seats were too bolstered in the seat bottom. I need to know if a swap is available, I assume I could find someone on the board who would make the trade. Really need to know if it is technically doable (heated seats by the way). Also, are there options to reshape the seats and what might that cost? Thanks for the info and if anybody wants to swap maybe pm me interior is black. If I pull the trigger I would want to swap. Car is a new car.

It's definitely do-able, in every sense of the word. You'll have no trouble finding someone willing to swap, and the seats are completely interchangeable. A poster on www.z4-forums.com recently bought some M-seats off eBay.uk (about $1200) and swapped them into his Z4.

I'm a bit confused by your post. You found a Z4 with M seats and you want to find someone with standard seats who wants to trade, or vise-versa? If the former, folks will line up (including me - first in line). If the latter, good luck.

I have new M Seats and want to swap them out with regular. The reason being the car i am buying is a new 07 and $12k off MSRP. I cant find the car built the way I want it with regular seats with that deep of a discount. i would have to buy 2008 and hence no 12K off MSRP.

Push for even a better deal than that. I, along with many others here, got $15k + off back in Sept, Oct and Nov when the '08s were just arriving. If they've sat on it that long, they'll be willing to take the hit on it.

GL with the seat search .. you'll have no problem at all finding a suitor.

I'm in... You let me know where you want me to sign... and I'm in... I have a Brand new z4 coupe black leather interior with the standard seats 3,000 miles (new 12/27/07 I've driven to Vegas twice) let me know what you propose... I can ship to and from my work which is BMW of Pleasant Grove in Utah... and I'll do what I can (cheaper shipping and all that plus trained technician removal)! I am all over a swap! Send me a message and I will work it out with you!

See if you can do an engine swap too. Those M engins tend to make the car have this annoying rapid acceleration thing...

I have driven that Z4M coupe and there is nothing annoying about that acceleration. That's for Damn sure! Or the brilliant engine tones.

Jin, every other week you post that car for sale or trade on E46fanatics, then you spend a ton on modding it.
