You get that in the HUD on the F10 M5. Does the C7 RS6 HUD not have the same functionality with shift lights? Does look kind of cool on the wheel though.

No. The HUD on the M5 is better. The RS6 one (from memory) is more like the HUD you would get on a normal 5 series.

Looks like my go kart. Not for me.
BMW 540i
2018 GTR
F90 M5
X3MC
RS3 Saloon
RS7 FL best car I've owned. No faith in turbo oil screen (turbos failing) or sticking oil scraper ring causing missfires.
F10 M5 LCI still no rear grip lol
S7 black Edition Too big and heavy
S3 8V FL DSG 310ps, road noise is a joke
RS3 8P Rubbish
C7 RS6 Fantastic car but missed playing
GTR R35 800bhp, too extreme, crazy fast though
911 Turbo Remapped. Hated it
F10 M5, awesome but no rear grip
RS6 V10 700BHP crazy
Porsche Cayenne Turbo S 600bhp

I've wondered if the buckets would work well in the C7. Now I've seen them I'm loving them and the fact they can replicate the stitching in my OEM seats (and using OEM leather and alcantara) makes them very tempting indeed!

4500 euros for the seats, thats got to be a good deal considering you can sell your old ones for a bit of return cash too.

Is that just to retrim or does that include the seats and the mods to make them fit? Didn't see that on their website last time I looked?

Those seats look amazing in that car, I'm also a fan of the steering wheel

If my RS4 and RS6 had a baby, that would be the interior.

The wheel is completely wrong for an RS6 though, and the lights should go left to right, not middle out.

So 4500 euros comes to about £3400.if that includes the seats then that isn't too bad at all. Saw a set of R8 seats on ebay the other day for £4500.
I can see that the carbon bits are not included but so far it look like it might include the seats.

To get a wheel to do that isn't easy, well played ! Those wheels would be very popular with the Lambo boys.

Sepang Blue C6 RS6 Avant, Mapped, LED upgrade. Gone but not forgotten... :(
Black C6 RS6 Avant, Mapped, Non Res Milltek, Black Optic Grill, and Fully Loaded... Gone but not forgotten... :(
Black C5 RS6 Avant, MTM Mapped, Non Res Milltek, Black Optics, and Fully Loaded... Gone but not forgotten... :(

Shift lights are doable as Canbus wiring is already in the steering so you only need a module to read the revs then display via LEDs.
Even my G29 PS4 steering has them!

But the fit and finish is amazing, now that you couldnt do ;)
