Raw Pics of New F8x Illuminated M Seat Logo Activated, Front and Rear LED lights

Suave · 01-21-2014, 01:34 PM

A friend of mine sent me these pictures, not sure where they came from, but it's the first time I have seen the M logo light up on new M seats and also provides a good natural look of how the Full LED set up will look in the front and the partial LED lights in the rear. Just another perspective to take in. Would love to see a shot of the logo further back to get a better perspective. If anyone has one do post it up! What do you think?

ewwww... that's cheesy.

mister2d · 01-21-2014, 01:44 PM

Yeah, maybe if the pic was taken further back.

Was your friend local? Maybe these are the cars for next week's DC show. (I'm hoping!)

Maybe you can view the EXIF data on the original pics. Maybe they have the location embedded in them? (man I'm desperate)

I don't know what to make of the illuminated m logo.

jbockrd · 01-21-2014, 01:50 PM

I'ts a logo that your back will cover anyway. I don't think its cheesy or a deal breaker. Its different and we aren't used to seeing it. The LEDs need to be seen in person to get the white light appearance first hand

mister2d · 01-21-2014, 01:51 PM

I wonder if it gets hot enough to scald your back. hehe

karbonphiber · 01-21-2014, 01:55 PM

illuminated door sills would have been better imo

Black Gold · 01-21-2014, 02:07 PM

don't care whatsoever about the illuminated logo, take it or leave it

but, that's a good view of the m4 there, shows a little fender flare

and the rear fenders of the m3? OH YEA

Sedan_Clan · 01-21-2014, 02:09 PM

It looks better than I expected, but I would have preferred ///M logos embossed into the seat or headrests instead. I can already imagine myself getting annoyed when one of these damn logo's burn out or something.

I missed that detail. So no lighted door sills? That is one of my favorite details on a car. Is that accurate?

solstice · 01-21-2014, 02:23 PM

No worries that cheesy illuminated logo will soon break from the constant bending and pushing it will be exposed to.

parky1215 · 01-21-2014, 03:00 PM

Maybe IND will release leather color matching cover for illuminated M logo :P

Wish I could help more with info but not sure of anything more. I do appreciate the EXIF data comment although I have no clue what you are referring

LOL! Somebody needs to release SOMETHING as an alternative to that thing. Maybe carbon fiber or carbon leather plug pieces.

IND, are you listening?

I would totally buy one if that cover is covered with same Merino leather with engraved M logo.

Maybe I'll see about having them made sounds like a good idea and everyone seems to be interested, need to get the car first!

I'd be one of the first on the list for one of these 'plugs'.

Right click on the image you posted, then properties. Look at the details tab. It should show the location if it's still embedded in the file. This is assuming you are using Windows.

Brosef · 01-21-2014, 04:15 PM

those rear tail lights are not LED.

agreed that the illuminated door sills would have been a much better choice than the seat back.

He actually said partial LED, which they are.
