I?m planning on changing my seats to the BMW Performance bucket seats.
I sit too high in the OEM seats in my M3 and I want more side support
Anyone done it - know anything about these seats?
What I?ve heard is that they are easy to install but expensive....!

those seats look nice, I bet they have a hefty price tag on them though, they are "bmw" after all.

Those are amazing seats. I had a chance to sit in the BMW 135 tii at the Welt in Munich to get an up close look at the package. They are comfortable enough for daily use but a definite improvement over the stock seats if you want a racer setup. With that said, I think they would look a bit off in a 5er given that the car doesn't have that balls to the wall racer look. The other issue is that they are downright impossible to get here in the US without paying and arm and a leg. The reason being is that they are not DOT approved so BMW does not import them directly.

Its available. Cost a couple grand though. We get everything but the seats.
