The seam along the middle of the bottom portion of the seat is missing in the US version. Also the bolsters are not that big if you look closely.

Unfortunately they are not. Here is what South posted on the M3 forums.

Quote:
aftersales training pdf (p.39):

"In order to provide an enhanced sporting
character and more hold, the seat cushions
and backrests in European vehicles have been
further developed. In US vehicles, only the
front seat backrests have been revised. The
seat upholstery installed in US vehicles is the
same as that used on the E92 series-model
sport seat."

Only the bottom portion though. The backrest is same as Euro M3. Still it sucks, but I guess that is the price we pay for $3/gallon gas.
