Great work......but got to put my .02 sense about the seats-----> why would anyone want to disconnect their airbags? If they track these, there is no roll cage or 5 point harness to protect them and if they are on the street, no matter how careful you drive, we have all seen the accidents of members cars being totaled cause THEY GOT HIT doing nothing wrong or speeding.

Either way, they look good......what outside vendors other than ESS were used?

Cheers,

Recaro sells those seats with airbags. However, I do not think they are sold in the US because they have not been crash tested with the airbag.

So,
Sportster CS without airbags are street legal in the US but will cause BMWs to lose their seat airbags

Sportster CS with airbags are not street legal (maybe? Does something have to be crash tested to be street legal) even though they are the same seat that is street legal just they they have an airbag, which should provide more protection.

Because logic right?? Add into the fact that recaro sells oem seats with airbag (porsche,etc).

you know my thoughts on these cars!
Being able to see the Ferrari interior in person on top of the Melbourne is absolutely stunning! Hands down, the best color combination ive seen on an E9x.
Congrats guys!

You have the sickest Melbourne Red M3... Nicely done. Did you have the seats done in Bamboo or did recaro have a option for it?

Sal your car looks sick, love the interior work, looks classy and a complete different twist from your previous car. No disrespect tended to big purp. And yes you do have the best Melbourne red that I've seen to date. Thumbs up to you and the crew.
