got a new seat! yay!!! FOR FREE!!!
im proud to report to you that I got a new seat..
I have 2012 f30 with regular Dakota leather, the stitching on the side cracked where the leather is attached. I was a bit surprised, maybe my but is too big for bimmer. im only 220 lbs. omg.. But its whatever, I got a new seat and it looks primo. Well except the giant scratch on the opposite panel. Dude at the dealer said this was a common thing, no questions asked. |

A "common" thing? That doesn't say very much about the quality of the leather and how it will hold up over time... Oh BMW... seats aren't a place they should be cost-cutting.

Based on the exceedingly few posts regarding this issue (this one and one other that I've seen, which was a leatherette issue) it's not a common thing.

Are you telling me we shouldn't trust what people at dealerships tell us?

Another person with leather issues? Not surprised from a BMW.
Glad you got yours resolved. Did they scratch up your interior badly? I am skeptical of anyone taking the seats out for repair but I am hopeful yours went well. dL |

I had the same thing happen to me, a small crack on the leather and the seat was replaced.... it wasn't torn at all but the SA told me that before it rips they would just replace the seat.
