Why not just buy some CS recaros and have the JCW logo ironed or embroidered on? I think it would be cheaper honestly...

100% agree. The logos literally just iron on too.
I been considering doing it for awhile.
You will need airbag resistors though and idk about the occupancy seat sensor but I believe that too has a resistor/delete for it..
lol I've put ebay seats in and put in Recaro logos on them and I've put jcw logos onto stock S seats befor too. You'd ve surprised HOW MANY compliments the fake Recaros got , that was one of the most complimented mods my r53.
legit I wanna find a way to swap in f56 into my r58. There's gotta be a way.
Note to the o.p :
I searched for the jcw sears awhile too and in the u.s , it was nothing but scammers so be very careful. If your willing to pony up you definitely can find a set in the u.k.

The ones I want are the lesser recaros - the half alcantara ones. Much easier to find (at least I thought...)

You can swap f56 seats in!

I found one person that recently swapped them in her r58. Instagram uid is bmwminiwritr - but she won't message me back.

I was thinking about those - but you have to have custom seat brackets made up, and do a bunch of re-wiring. I'd be fine with that if someone wrote it up, but no documentation exists on the web for it

I have a full set of U.S.-spec Recaro seats (front and rear). I’m located in Southern California—I’ve sent you a PM.
