driver's leather seat problem...

2008bimmerM3 · 10-06-2008, 10:30 AM

Does everyone experience the driver's seat bottom stretch like this? I only weigh 130 lbs and only been driving the car for 3 days!

ihyln · 10-06-2008, 10:40 AM

I have it too. Nothing you can do really because the leather is much softer. Except maybe lose some weight

Yeah, it's leather and will stretch & crease to some degree. Not a defect--nature of the material.

Better your seat gets the wrinkles than your woman!

MDCTFTW · 10-06-2008, 12:05 PM

That's minimal compared to mine so feel lucky.

2008bimmerM3 · 10-06-2008, 12:05 PM

LOSE SOME WEIGHT!!! hahaha I'm only 130 lbs, if I lose any more weight I'll be dead!

thanks for everyone's response.

You must be sporting the weightless package on your M3.

I posted the same question awhile back when my car only had 4500 miles on it. This is what it looked like, and it hasn't changed much since.

No wrinkles in my seats, and I've had the car since 2 August. Of course, since I have an E93 M3, my seat bottoms (Euro seats) are different than yours.

One issue I'm having with the leather is discoloration -- but it's my own fault. I tend to wear dark jeans, and I'm noticing the color (from my jeans) has slightly discolored the driver's seat. The seat bottom is about a 1/2 shade darker than the passenger seats. Not really a big deal to me though... closing in on 5,000 miles driven and still absolutely LOVING this car!

Hey TheBry, you've got no wrinkles? I've got the E93 now too, and mines showing wrinkles like I've seen in this thread and other threads.

2008bimmerM3 · 10-06-2008, 01:18 PM

I just picked up my car last Friday, its been 3 days, 200 miles and it already wrinkled like crazy!

No wrinkles... just the mild discoloration (of my own causing).
