If everything seems under control, you're just not going fast enough.

This does seem a little on the high side for heated seats. As an example, the Shelby GT 500 Recaro leather trimmed sport seats are a $1,595.00 option. Same price on the Boss 302 but in Cloth & not heated. The Roadster really looks wicked!!! Guess that's the mark up for BMW vs. Ford! Cheers!

Those look great. Too bad they are heated. It would be nice to have lightweight seat option that would keep the car in stock class.

Well, it would cost about $1500 each to buy a standalone Recaro seat anyway, and the stock MINI seats can't cost that much money. So it's only a modest markup.

Let me first say this, when you compare them to the other option seats they are a great buy. If you want lounge leather that is a 2000 dollar option and another 500 for the heated seats. So 2750 for heated Recaro I think is fair.
With that said what is not fair is in the R56 I am paying for 2 front seats and a back seat for 2k in leather. In the R58 I am only getting 2 seats for the same price |
