Will cloth seats be available?

I have not seen a cloth seat option in any of the configurators/guides.

While I am asking, I have seen black 825M wheels in pics, but the configurators/guides only show Orbit Grey and Bi-color as options.

Why would there be? Not bling enough for the market BMW is trying to capture.

Doesn't seem that far fetched of a question. E46, E90, F80 all had it as an option. I'd imagine earlier ones had them as an option too. I'm guessing you're inferring that bmw is after a new or evolved market from previous models. That said, this would be, I believe, the first M3 to not offer cloth as an option.

For the record, I would love to have cloth as an option. I had the carbon structure seats in my F80.

I think there are 2 groups of consumers looking at cloth seats
1. Lowest cost
2. Best grip and weight savings for track

Bmw clearly answered group 2 with the carbon buckets
I doubt bmw cares about group 1 as they represent a tiny fraction of buyers for a premium vehicle, you can also probably lump in other rare need states like "i don't find leather comfortable" or "I am morally opposed to leather"
