Exactly-- the seat section of the seat stretches to the point it's lumpy and wrinkled. But, as other posters above have pointed out, that's to be expected with leather. Not sure about heat tightening it back up though. I live in LA where it's pretty warm and it hasn't had any effect.

Wow- that's great. You're lucky. The SS leather in my E92 was awful. Looked great when new- but after 4 years, it looked like crap.

Anyway, thanks for the all responses. I was just wondering what the consensus was about the leather in these cars. I actually really like the way the seats feel and they fit my perfectly -- especially the comp pack seats which are far better than the regular M4 seats IMHO.

My shakir orange is holding up great no issues other then a stain under my sons car seat in the back seat which isnt the leathers fault, actually its my fault for not initially laying something down under the car seat when I first bought the car.

My 15 had 56k miles on it and had just a little bit of wear on the bolster, the rest of the seats were fine.
It was the same on the E46 and E9x. People want soft leather, well that's what you get with soft leather. On the other hand, my E92 335i had Dakota leather. I sold that with 49k miles and had no visible wear. |

No issues with leather after owning several BMWs since 2001. Like anything else, if you take proper care of something and don't abuse it, it will last a good long time.

I'm surprised to see so many people confirming the "quality" of the leather. One of my family members has a 535 M Sport and the quality of the leather in her car is significantly better than the leather I had in the M4. Maybe it was just me but it was blatantly obvious that one was better than other.....

Only issues I have with my leather seats are self inflicted. Had to rush my dog to the vet one day. Wife wasn't home of course so I had to take her in my car. The dog scratched the back seat. It's not bad, but my OCD really kicks in every time I see it.

I drove mine to vet in a 2 seater before. Got to get care for my best boy at any cost. Edit: it seems like people with no issues care for the leather and those with issues don't and have high miles. Zero surprises edit 2: cloth or vinyl rock |

39k mikes, DD, 2016. Getting some minor "cracking" on drivers seat bottom cushion bolster near on the door side. Obviously that's the piece that gets hit the hardest on an exit as you slide over. Overall everywhere else it looks like the day I got the car. I use leathermasters every so often as well although I haven't been as diligent as of late.

You know, now that you guys are mentioning "cracking" I did notice I had some cracking on the seat bottom, like in the area under your hamstrings. Wasn't bad, you'd have to get right up on it to see it.
I use Meguiars leather conditioner until I found Lexol products. |

i have opal white for a year now, haven't cleaned the seats once and they look just like when I picked the car up. I wear jeans, get in the car after hiking in the mud, and generally give zero cleaning fucks. cause lease. I don't have time for that shit. Ok, fine, i do, but chicks aren't going to ogle themselves and if I'm not doing it then who will?
Anyway, these pics are a few months old but the seats look exactly the same (more crumbs though) |
