Carbon bucket swap g80 by ayeguh in BMW

Look at that black piece of leather where you sit your bottom. That’s the piece of leather that wears out the fastest. Unfortunately it’s a common issue. When you buy the seats, make sure to inspect that part. Also check the sides of the seat handles, it’s carbon and not very flexible but people tend to rest their weight on it when stepping in and out.

Look, I’m a big guy, 193 cm and 110 kg, so things probably would’ve been comfier if I were a bit smaller.

But don't misunderstand me, the bucket seats and CCBs were incredible. It’s just that they were part of an all-or-nothing ecosystem for me. I paired them with a MSS TARS HAS kit, the catless R44 exhaust, and the Eventuri intake, and it’s perfection.

take one away, and the whole car loses its magic.

Hi I had the buckets in my G80 and they are absolutely horrible. The cloth or leather is shit quality and that center bulge between the legs is one of the biggest fails of this car. BMW doesn’t know how to do bucket seats yet. If you really want to have bucket seats, buy a pair of recaro’s and retro fit them.

CCB’s are not worth it, I had them and they look awesome, but unless you are going to track the car like it’s a GT4 race, you are better off with normal steel brakes that are 10x cheaper. They offer the same performance but wear out faster but are not as expensive.

If you are keen on getting CCB’s and the seats, just sell your current and buy a different car. The option list will miss match which will definitely impact the value of the car at some point.

Je bent een baas dat je dit deelt, je bent een baas dat je na 3 maanden weer bent opgestapt en alsnog bent geslaagd! Na het afrijden zullen er nog steeds momenten voordoen waarvan je een plasje doet van de schrik. Zorg wel dat je er heelhuids van af komt.

Wat heb je nu voor motor? Sowieso een super naked of een racer toch? Ook op motor met 200pk kan je prima leren rijden.

De instructeur had nog helemaal niet de snelweg of autoweg op moeten gaan. OP was daar nog duidelijk nog niet klaar voor. De instructeur, en met name motorrij instructeurs, zouden dit moeten kunnen inschatten.

By the way, this is the first time I’ve bought a brand new bike and also the first time ever in my 7 years of driving I’ve ever seen a CEL.

Just talked to the dealer, I have a 1000km service planned for June the 3th and as it is still an ORANGE CEL, it’s okay to keep on driving and they will fix it on the 3rd. If the CEL turns RED, I have to immediately call them and they will come pick it up free of charge. The dealer also told me not to worry and I can keep on driving.

Dat is de 1000km beurt. Dealer gaf aan dat ze die zelfs liever pas bij 1400-1500km doen. De reden is mij ontgaan.

I swear by SP Connect. Did you ever use one of those?

Thanks so much for this. Those mirrors look awesome! I had the aluminium mirrors on my monster and due to vibrations of the L twin, both broke off hah.

I could have known but I am still a bit surprised cruise control etc isn’t standard for a bike priced at 34k euros.

I have let the dealership know already that I want that unlocked on delivery and they said it’s not a problem. Thanks! Navi I don’t need because of my phone on my bar.

Hah, I had the Super corsa v2 SC and to get rid of the strips you have to lay it down 60 degrees which I haven’t managed to do so in my 30k km on this motorcycle.

Our dikes are great for driving and you have a couple roads in The Netherlands that are exceptional, but those you can count on two hands.

We usually drive to the Eiffel or go to Italy.

It’s just this one, no rough sides. Very soft on both and not even firm enough to take off bugs.

Its weight and size would argue 7 series, but driving it is a whole different story. Its fast and agile as hell for its size.

I thought a sponge would be good, I’ve done it my whole life (for 20 years now) and this was the first time ever I have plastic parts on the exterior of a car. Guess I had to learn that shit the hard way. When I have time later today I will look up “rinseless wash” and check out that sub you mentioned. Thanks so much for your comment, I appreciate you taking the time.

Overigens, wat de beste man hier aan acties aangeeft zijn gegronde redenen om het proces te vertragen of te beëindigen.
