I just bought a 1991 520i and am loving it. The seats have some rips and tears and was wondering if anyone has bought or knows a good maker of custom seat covers. I'm looking for a stock look with valour or something simular. I dont want it to look like I draped a sheet over my seats.

Thanks for your replies,

They sell custom fits covers in all types of materials including a faux leather. Price is around $200 for the front including armrest and headrest covers. Not sure what the price is for the rear. Looked into myself but as usual I can only window shop.

It looked like $200.00 for the rear also.

Did you also see their read deck covers? Has anyone bought one of them?

This was exactly what I was looking for. Everytime I looked I could only find 3-series, cover king sells for the 5 also. Found front to be 182.00 minus shipping.

Thanks again.

yoru welcome. Now you must take pictures of the process (before, during and after) and post them here. If they look good I will get me a set.

One of their distributors, Luxury Covers, is sending me a sample swatch of the grey leatherette today.

I just bought one of the rear parcel shelf covers from www.luxurycovers.com. I'll let you guys know about it when it comes in. I received the samples on the leatherette seat covers from them yesterday. I'm still forming an opinion and plan on getting a couple of other opinions, before I decide.
