Here's a few pics of my new Z4, unfortunately the weather wasn't great so I'll try and get some better ones at a nicer location soon. Anyway, here's the ones I have for now

sweet, welcome!

Welcome and a nice looking Zed.

Very Nice...

Welcome and Nice car

Nice, heated M Sports

Thanks for the comments everyone. Yeah I'm loving the seats, they heat up so quickly and no sliding about on them either!

Very nice, liking the seats as well.

I'm admiring that the seats are manual - I'd love to swap some manual heated seats for my electrics and save a chunk of weight.

Manual seats FTW! I love my manual seats. I deliberately ordered my M without power seats and the premium pkg gadgets because I wanted to keep the car as lightweight as possible. Once I find a comfortable position, I don't ever need to change the setting, except when I swap cars with friends but it only takes a couple of minutes to find my favorite position back. One less thing that could potentially break and be costly to repair someday.

I totally agree, electric adjustment would be wasted on me. I'm the only one who drives the car so apart from sliding the seat forward to dust behind it they don't move at all. It's very true indeed - 1 less thing to go wrong! I am impressed at how supportive the seats are, no sliding about even on the leather.

Hi & Welcome

Do the electrics add that much weight?

Anyone checked the difference?

Frankly it's not that much extra weight in the order of things. 3 or 4 small motors. Sure if you're stripping down to the last kg for performance then of course ditch the motors. I shed a lot of weight anyway by going from standard to ///M seats.

The reason I love the electric is that myself and wife both drive the Zed and it's programmed that each time either of us unlock the car it auto adjusts it to our selection. To me that's worth its weight in gold as we both have totally different driving positions and we both hate the seat moved from our chosen setting.

Yep, thats the same reason I wanted electrics too Jeeper, as my partner loves to have her seat perfect, and literally just wouldn't drive the car if she had to re-adjust each time she got in it.

If you get an ESS kit, none of those luxuries matter anymore
