Socal with bucket seats

Is anyone in the OC area that would be willing to let me wife sit in a g80 with bucket seats. We are replacing her tesla with the g80 with a manual and she wants bucket seats but some people mentioned that they are not comfortable for her size. Let me know. TIA

Do you mean the Carbon Fiber buckets? I really wanted those seats as well, however I didn't get them and my son and many others were telling me not to do it as the comfort level was not that great over time. Even the regular M3 sport bucket seats are a little snug when I have a jacket on. Is your wife too tall for the seat? Go to your local Dealer and I am sure they will let her sit in one of their cars

We have another week to finalize her order and she needs to make sure that it will work for her size. She is 5'1". We will be doing some NASA track events, but she will also drive the car from SoCal to NorCal. Need to make sure those sears work for her.

I cannot find a dealer locally that has one in stock.

My wife tried them at Sterling BMW and she said they were fine. I guess we are going with that option.
