    Very nice score!

    Yes, I'm curious about this too and what shop did you use? That is a very reasonable rate for what seems like a nice job.

    So what he told me was that he's partnered with a vendor in CA who keeps leathers from different manufacturers in stock. He had a sample ring of leather swatches labeled BMW and this one actually didn't look like a perfect match originally but he said it's because my seats were so dry/faded and cracked that it wasn't recognizable. Code was N6NG so I know it was the right product. He recovered the seats in his shop. He was able to salvage the top section of the passenger seat (above the mid-back seam), all headrests and the entire rear seat with conditioner and dye. Overall I'm 10/10 satisfied with the work.

    Does this person sell the seat covers directly or so you HAVE to get the work done there to get the seat covers?

    Shade looks a little off on the seats compared to the door cards, maybe it's because of the lighting, but can you provide another picture comparing the door card natural brown and the seat natural brown?
