I think it’s pretty normal. My car has nappa leather package, and the front driver seat cracked as well.
But I belive if you do not get knife and wear regular clothes, then the leather will last forever. But you do need to oil it regularly. Last edited by perry8912; 05-10-2018 at 12:52 PM.. |

Mine is fine 15 51k miles. What's your weight brother? Wide ass would always do this weird stuff. That's why no fat chicks get in my car. Warranty should cover it. I would go back and press that manager again.

I have heard that M3/M4 seats would fit and have seen some for sale, but every time I ask them to verify, I never hear back from them.

Anybody who was able to get replaced under warranty did they replace just the bottom piece or the back too? I'm just wondering how it will match having a new bottom for drivers side when the back or passengers side is old.

You do realize the part your butt and back touch are leather, the rest is synthetic, hence "Leather seating surfaces" distinction most cars have these days. My guess Bentley and a few others are 100% leather still.
Update: Just went to BMW's site, this is their distinction wording, "Selected material is on all seating surfaces; other components may be Leather or SensaTec", my guess is they define seating surfaces as the area's your body touches while in a normal, seated driving position.

So then they should replace all the seats, in order not to have a brand new seat and the rest worn out.

I took mine to 1 dealer in Pittsburgh and they said it’s common considered normal wear and tear. Went to another dealer and they said they would submit to BMW and see what happens. They replaced the cover today.

My car has 49,000 miles and change it's going to hit the 50,000 mile mark very soon if I didn't get my car into the dealership before the manufacturer warranty expires would something like this still be covered under the CPO warranty or would I be out of luck and I need to take care of this immediately with the dealer in order to have any chance of them taking care of it under warranty??
