    Wrecking yards are loaded with near perfect rear seats that would make excellent donors for a bit of original leather to repair your seat.

    Ross, I am considering this appoach. However none of my local yards seem to have any appropiate BMWs. Never do! Do you have a handle on how to search regionally for used BMW parts? Thanks
