Ind have them for M4 gts. Not sure if they fit 1M. Worth trying giving them a call.

Yes they work, they were never sold in NA so all BMWP seas came from EU. Be careful who you deal w/ as I got burned once, took months to get my $ back. ECS and iND used to import them before BMW discontinued make it them. I had a seat shipped from Greece to the US, shipping wasn't bad at all, it came in 2-pieces.

wow those are beautiful, didn't even know those seats existed, thank you, my only qualm with IND is i really want to get good seats but i can't justify trading the cost of a used honda s2000 just for seats, i mean like right? 14k?

awesome, thank you for this info, great to know, i'm thinking it might be worth it to fly to germany just to source some seats and drive the ring. you wouldn't happen to have a particular source you used that you could recommend would you? thanks again for all the info

I think they have less expensive ones for 1M. Even organ stitching and all.
