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.

We'll see, Oyster Dakota leather was carried through the LCI years. I just doubt they discontinued it.
