I dont think the 991 or 992 Turbos are in 8's / 160's bolt on yet. That seems like built motor territory.

If you are referring to the X3M front seats, aren’t they the same as the ///M8 with a slightly different stitch pattern?

Unfortunately no...i wish they were. I tested the X3M cause I needed a dedicated surf car with more room and offroading capabilities but the front seats were so small and with the side bolsters it forced my thighs together and pinched my nutz and no matter how I tried to adjust the seats - and I'm normal sized 6'0 188 lbs. but seems like the seats were made for someone much smaller.

Then I sat in the M8 was like holy crap these are the most comfortable seats i've even been in and I was sold. Just needed time to find the right spec. I prob should have got the X5M in retrospect (they do share the same seats) but the M8 does great offroading surprisingly tons of ground clearance for a car and great awd in the sand. I bulldoze shit over and dont care its just a lease.

Honestly, I thought they were basically the same. I am 6'4 240 and fit in the X3M sport seats, side bolsters out of course - not Baracalounger wide - but not crazy tight either. My reference comes from sitting in the M8 a number of times. On a side note, glad to see you kept the E92

Enjoy that M8 I'm sure your will put it to good use- there is an airstrip near you calliing LOL

Yes thx I have an airstrip event next weekend and using it to data log and dial in the M8 tune. Hope to see some X3M's out there too as the stage 2 have put out some insane numbers low 150's 1/2 mile which is amazing for an SUV. And awd so bet they fly away from a lot of cars.

Nice video, highlighting that the design of X3M / X4M vehicles is already nearly perfect. Tuning potential (with pay to play caveats) makes this point even more emphatic.

Why is every press car an X4M? No offense to X4M owners but it's quite polarizing and if you didn't know any better, you'd think the X3M didn't exist.

Clearly some actually prefer it to the X3

Otherwise the new generation X4 wouldn't be here

So regardless of what you think it's a complete home run

very impressive against a GTR.

not surprised, these things are rockets stock, can't even imagine what the tune feels like. Very cool!
