I believe the seats in the F83 are carried over from the 4 series convertible unchanged except for the addition of the illuminated M badge on the headrest whereas the F80/82 are bespoke seats designed with lightness in mind and obviously totally different from the 3/4 series seats.

The 4 series convertible seats have an ' air scarf' which blows hot pot air onto the necks of the front passengers from vents in the headrest so the M4 convertible would not have been able to use the same seats as M3/4.

I guess the cost/ benefit of designing a new seat specifically for the M4 convertible was deemed not worth it so they used the regular 4 series seats which come with the thigh extenders.

Wait, why are you guys laughing?! Don't those vents also serve as "on the go hairdryers?"
