Are they ? I had no issues when I drove a few on the track and found them to be very comfortable
They separate your legs, don't they? Great for track work I guess, but I wouldn't want the crotch pincher if I had a choice. Also, when I heel toe, I rotate my right leg inward to blip the throttle. Just seems like it would annoy me in daily driving. I don't mind aggressive side bolsters, but leg separators is a bridge too far for me.
Quotable

It's BMW "frozen" paint. Which is some kind of netherworld thing between Matte and the same gloss paint that is still on every non-Armo owned car.
I hate it, and it would be a deal killer for me but otherwise, :sweetwouldbuy:
My uncle had a frozen black edition e92 M3. I'll send pic's when I find it.

I don't think any single men are blowing over $20K on decorations.

Ditto

Would have to see how I fit in one first, but this thought resonates

depends on how rich you are.

when i was single i no bullshit was looking for a blown VW W8 engine to make into a coffee table. Even bad ones are surprisingly expensive due to rarity.

Still we're talking like what, $2200 versus $22000? $22K for a decoration that 99.9% of women would hate is just wild to me. You have to be a billionaire for that to pencil out.

$10K for a whole house though, honestly seems not bad, especially for a guy who is a designer by trade and loves that stuff. Your decorating is :nice:

oh for sure, that's about what they were running. I was in at like ~400 for engine then diy the rest for very little extra in material. I make triple what I did then, and still would not be into a decorative item like that for 2k. Hell I wouldn't spend 2k on a REGULAR coffee table :lolol:

although, I bet the 22k offy engine ends back up in a running car.

My sitch is odd though, I think I'd actually be willing to pay more for a covfefe table than my wife. She kind of likes cheap stuff so she can redecorate every few years, I'd probably drop a G on a table and keep it in perpetuity.

I had a few big ticket items, and Wayfair and even Target online for the rest.

This is similar to what I have now. I went and looked on West Elm's website and they no longer sell the one I have.

Yeah, I'm not a fan of the lipstick either but I don't think it's too difficult to switch back to OEM or even just a CSL grille without it.

Anything over 60k for a G80 used is :fullretard: imo but that’s the market. My ideal new spec is 79-82k depending on color no sense in going used and getting the old tech and someone’s rag doll
