The carbon bucket seats look incredible and one of the biggest complaints is how difficult it is to get in and out of them. In this video, I show you my methods on getting in and out on my Imola Red G80 M3. This has allowed me to keep them in pristine condition.

I can hear my wife complaining already. "you spent 100K on this car and the seats are a pain in the a@$%" LOL
Pretty good method. Mine is similar. However, one thing, at least for me, that makes it even easier is having one seat memory setting set to go back as far as possible. I use this setting prior to getting in and out and there is plenty of room for me to navigate without having to reset my steering wheel every time (which I’m pretty particular about and would drive me insane if I had to do that all the time).
Definitely good tips and I'm sure someone will read this and also see if this works for them. Thanks for chiming in 🤘🏻
@@TheDailyDriven it’s a shame BMW doesn’t have an auto setting for their steering wheels like a lot of their competitors do. This would make things even easier IMO.
Keep up the dope content!
That's exactly what I have been doing. Funny, I started doing that and getting in/out similarly as the video shows prior to seeing this. I got curious to see how others were doing it. Time to teach my wife lol.
How comfortable are the seats for daily driving?
Is there no "comfort-memory" setting for the seat which help to go out and in the car? My Recaro-Seats of my Insignia OPC has this and it helps a lot.
So funny that this is a video that actually helps/entertains people! You’d know the interior is fire when people are willing to deal with this every time they get in and out #worthit
Absolutely true! Definitely worth it
Thanks for the tips! I thought I was crazy getting in and out of my car and I’m glad I’m not alone. I don’t have a G8X carbon buckets. This will help in my F80 CS.
No problem. Thank you for checking out the video
My good lady is always telling me I'm too obsessed with my F80 as it is. I was laughing to myself picturing me telling her from now on she has to use this method to get in and out - think I'll just keep this one to myself 😀
Lol 😄😄😄.
Great technique! Them buckets are sooo 🔥😮💨. I know my lady would be annoyed if I had these 😂😅
Ohh believe me I've already heard it from my lady lol. But she loves the car too.
Really helpful video! People need to learn from these videos and stop all the unnecessary wear and tear on such beautiful seats!
Totally agree 👍🏻 💯
I got my method from watching some Lotus vids...I use the center console and the spot on the door frame like you...then you can support your entire body weight and set it down perfectly in the seat or exit with perfection. (I'm 6'2'')
It's honestly a great method to get in and out for most body shapes
This helps because I am struggling 😆
Awesome hopefully that helps. That would definitely help alleviate the wear and tear on the side bolsters
You make it look so easy! I’m gonna have to practice this😅
You'll get used to it lol. In the beginning it was definitely awkward but it gets so much easier 👍🏻
Hands together and pray you don't rub the bolster 😂. Nice tips! I'd also be coaching/helping my significant other every single time she gets in/out of those seats 😂.
Gotta teach em lol 😆 #savethebolsters
I really appreciate that tip, I’ve been struggling to find the perfect way, being 6’4” doesn’t help much either, but I’ll be sure to try this. 🙏🏾
Hopefully it helps out. You can also program seat memory #2 and have it moved the whole seat back along with this method. It might help out.
Believe me the only way that seat going any further back is if I extend the rails & take out the back seats. Being this tall is a gift & struggle. Wouldn’t change it though. Am going to try your way though I think I can make it work.
Seat is great but I would want cut outside bolster with flex cutter
Pretty solid tips for getting in and out. I don’t own a G8x with carbon buckets but I do a similar method of getting in and out of my competition seats in my F8X
Great method Ken. I've been using it but the only thing is I'm more psycho than you. I take my shoes off before I get in lol. And I drive without them on. I still use your method then I pick up my shoes after I got in.
Love you man! 💪🏽 G8X crew 🤝🏽
🙌
Great review and procedure!!!!!! I’m gonna implement those methods!!!!
Thank you ! Hopefully it works for you too 🤘🏻
So I have only been in one G8X with buckets. I’m 240 and yes getting in is easy and getting out sucks but the lift hop method would definitely work! Which is good because I want a M5 CS and there is no choice!
Yeah definitely the lift and hop method definitely helps out. Pushing your steering wheel in to give you more room definitely allows you to have more space
Best interior straight out of the box forsure 👌🤘
💯💯
Hehehe I can totally relate to this video, owning a S2k with buckets men, i have to slim down and make sure have a good strength of my shoulder depressors 😂😂😂
Lol that's how I use to get in and out of my Corvette. This method works every time. Ken what type of radar detector do you use?
🤘🏻. Glad I'm not the only one. Haha. I have a Uniden R7. It's been pretty spot on
Ok thanks 👍
banger content as always!!!!
🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻
Haha. Need to show this to all my passengers in my g80 comp. I just tell them good luck. And if they ask why. Because race car.
Exactly ! hahaha
Thanks for the video. With the knees being angled so much higher than your hips would that place your lower back into a higher degree of forward flexion which could potentially create more disc degeneration over time? It reminds me of sitting in a couch that sinks causing your knees to be super higher than your hips, its what they call sacral sitting
Sort of unrelated to getting in and out of the buckets themselves, but how much room or “play” do your legs have while sat in the buckets?
I have heard that most people can’t sit in a relaxed position which could seriously make longer drives miserable. Anything narrower than 45 degrees, in my opinion, wouldn’t work for someone driving in these every day for decent periods of time.
Thanks for the video.
The carbon bucket seats are comfortable but it all really depends on your body shape and height. When it comes to be able to move your legs, it's definitely restrictive. But it wouldn't be bad for somebody driving as a daily as long as their drives are not intensely long. I think the issue comes with people getting in and out of the seats and worrying about the bolster.
I have about almost 5,000 miles on the car, and the seats still look new because of this method I've been doing on getting in and out of the seats
There's enough room to move your legs slightly but not to be able to go spread eagle
Appreciate the video and ordered these for a G81, however i have a question : how does that work passenger side though without the steering wheel as anchor point ?
You could use your pillar as a Anchor Point instead. I've done that too, the only downside is that sometimes you leave fingerprints
The gymnastics needed for a seat. 😂
😁😆
The passenger does not have a steering wheel, guess they'll have to grab the dash, would have been handy if you had shown a method for them too, regardless thanks for your video.
any tips on how to politely ask the ladies to get in carefully without sounding like a maniac?
Im still trying to find the right way to tell my wife. lol. Even my friendly reminders haha.
Haha 😂 This right here! 💀
Jujitsu to get in these😂. I dunno. They look nice but may go for the base seats
I've always used this method for GT4 and this car; however, with this car, you do get some black rubber stains on your hands.
Im glad I'm not the only one to do this lol 😂. So far no stains on my hand.
Is it similar to the amg bucket seats (comfortablility)?
Never actually got to sit in AMG seats before. Couldn't give you a comparison.
I’ll never get in and out of my car the same anymore lol.
Anyone with those IND bolster leather add ons have any feedback?
Haha it's a process 😅. My buddy has them on his G80. It's helped the bolster but im not a fan of how it looks. It kinda looks off a little.
@@TheDailyDriven yeah i can imagine it wont match perfect or look as tight.
I've tried both methods of getting in and out Ken and with me being 6ft tall 220lbs my body doesn't contort that way.
Damn, if you find another method that works please chime in
Great technique, however I'm not sure a lot of people that can buy this car will have the upper body strength like you do, to hold themselves up like that over the seat. I guess they would just have to buy the base seats.
I'm too lazy for this I just want to plop into my seat. LOL Respect for driving with buckets though.
Thankfully it's not my daily lol 😆. But yeah these buckets are a little more intricate
Off topic but what is the name of the gymshark pants you are wearing? Also,what size do you wear? thanks
They are Gymshark Arrival Woven Joggers. Size large. I'm 5'11. Runs well. Super lightweight and breathable. I loved it so much I bought 4 pairs lol 😆
@@TheDailyDriven appreciate it bro.
I want a G80 M3 just for the bucket seats
Those seats are just 🔥🔥
This is all fine and dandy until your 300 pounds friend wants a ride in the m3. lol take a back seat pal! I should try this, I use my left hand on my steering wheel and I prop myself up with the arm rest then scoot out, but noticing some wear on the arm rest now. This looks less clunky.
I have the same seats and color and am not a fan. If you know anyone looking to swap let me know!!
If I hear anything I'll let you know. What state are you located ?
Just wonder if you girl or wife have a short dress on will it look proper to get out the car in such a fashion
If you’re over 200lbs, you will regret getting these seats, And that’s @6’. If you’re shorter than 6’ at 200lbs or more, it’ll be worse.
Yeah it really depends on the person's body shape and how they form to the seats.
those seats looks cool but are extremely uncomfortable 😟
What he’s saying is someone hit me up to trade your bucket seats for basic seats 😂
Definitely not
Put wax in take way out 😆 a over door handle be helpful
Yeah…explaining this to your wife or girlfriend will be another challenge…no thanks.
Yeah i tried explaining to my wife and it didn't go so well lol
Be careful with ur watch…I was using my watch hand to prop my self and since it was humid my hand slipped and scratched the paint on my car
Be more careful.
@@Kyle_702 omg thanks bro I didn’t think of that !
@@arunvirrai13 no problem a lot of people don’t think in this world you just happen to be one of them.
@@Kyle_702 omg thanks bro once again u dropping great knowledge
@@arunvirrai13 no problem.
Too much work!
Ok then, don't do it 🤣. Let your bolsters get torn up.
u may scratch the car with ur "ROlex“ ”lol
Thanks for watching. Have a blessed day
Bro no way you made a video of a tutorial on how to get into a damn car…
Read the damn comments below. It's been helping other owners. The carbon buckets have an aggressive bolster and without proper methods, you'll destroy the bolster.
@@TheDailyDriven other owners are stupid as hell . Can’t believe they really need a goddamn tutorial of how to get into a m’fn bucket seat . Why even buy bucket seats in the first place Smfh
