 Just had mine done in Alcantara. FYI.... There is a pocket in the foam rubber that goes over the bolster inner structure. (seat & seat back) This is a weak area with BMW seats & the bolster foam breaks down. When the seat is apart get them to structurally reinforce the foam pocket. It will make a big difference in the support & life span of the bolsters

Been thinking about that one for a while.. Would love a "RS" themed interior. Our cars pretty much have the same color combo..

I had my stock Z seats upholstered in Alcantara and BMW leather with additional bolster padding by my guy in Guelph Ontario He did a super job. The only complaint being the suede really atracts dust and bits of whatever is floating around. Last edited by Steeler; 12-27-2013 at 04:35 PM.. |
