The E46 M3 CSL and E90 M3 CRT featured unique sets of bucket seats designed for street use.
All the race harness cut outs were gone. The shells had further padded foam inserts, sat on sliders and was able to tilt.
The Turismo ABE style seat is intended for those that want the best of bucket seats for their street driven BMW M car.

The original upper slots, the side cut outs and the lower cut out for a 6 point harness have all been eliminated, creating seamless shell.
The shell is made from pre preg carbon fiber cured in autoclave. It weights under 4 kg / 8.8 lbs.
The Turismo seats will be created using comfort foams and gels to create a bucket seat for street use.
The design will differ from standard Pole Position ABEs with discerned aesthetics.
Our intention was to offer an OEM level re-creation of the discontinued BMW Performance seats down to the most minute details.
Every single stitches, the unique foam, the custom paint and embroidery along with the electronics integrated into the OEM seats were dissected.
