New Leather Seat Cover on Order
Hey everyone,
Recently had the dealer place a seat cover on order (doing some interior repairs) but the inventory here and in Germany are 0 and the dealer is saying it wasn't discontinued. The dealer stated that BMW will manufacture the seat cover and ship it. Does this actually happen? Sounds a bit out there.

I don’t buy it. Once parts are out of production they don’t do “one offs”.

I thought they were required to keep parts in production for 10 years.

I confirmed with getbmwparts.com that it's on backorder with the supplier.

Keep in mind that "Backorder" might mean it has been ordered but does *not* mean it will eventually be delivered by the manufacturer. It could stay in backorder status for a while and then get canceled. Hope that is not the case here but it has certainly happened to me several times with parts. Good luck.
