    That's quite a selection. Is there any car that they don't support?

    Yes, but the prices are not so quite.

    Nice find, shogun! I'm interested in how those leather armrest covers would look. Second on the high prices tho...

    At least their leather color chart looks like a handy tool for free

    IS there a way to find out the official color of one's leather?? I have tan, and I've never known which BMW leather name to match it to...

    That's pretty steep. Are those real dollars or OZ dollars?

    I just bought custom seat cover, seat covers unlimited. These are 'taylor made' for the car. After playing around for 1/2 a day, I decided to remove the seat (15 min job the 1st time) and put the 2-pc seat covers on with the seat out of the car - also gave me a chance to clean the car also! The bottom cover fit very well. The back part of the front seat does not fit very well. It's a 7 out of a 10. I will post a picture later as I'm on the road right now. These covers cost $200 for both, 100 each, and are a 2-tone cover - which I like the look. Not simple to install well, but with the seat out of the car, and all side panels off, not to bad. Not sure I'd pay >$200 for a cover unless I was guaranteed it was a perfect fit - with a return policy.

    There should be a tag on the bottom of your rear seat (you will need to pull the seat out to see it) that tells you what colour your leather is.

    There is more under the seat, I found the complete paper under my rear seat, alloptions, when the car was produced, which production line in the factory, etc

    Or, make a buddy at the dealership and they will print off a copy of your build sheet with paint/interior color code, etc.

    I don't know how accurate the colors in that chart are. Our Touring has the Parchment interior & it doesn't look like the grey pic they show in the chart.
