Glad with the upgrade? Or do you regret it?

I was at Mercedes picking up more parts for my car and I saw a new cla 45 amg with the racing style buckets. I just thought it would be cool if Mercedes put in a nice set of racing-style buckets in the e. Anyone on here do this - im curious to know your impressions?
