New Seats HELP please!!!!!!!!

Ok. The leather n my seats kinda wearing off and shows age, I would love to replace the leather with new one. At the dealer it costs a lot, over $1600 each seat, is there any other place who offers the leather cover? I check leather seats.com which I did my Tacoma with and it was better than new, but they do not have anything for BMW. Another option was to buy recaro Sportster, but I don't want the problem of check lights on my dashboard, is there a plug and play kit to solve that problem? I would love new Seats. Thanks.

errors can be coded off easily. Any of the various vendors who offer that on the forum should be able to help you

Can't the leather just be repaired? Even tears can be repaired with good success. If it's just wear it's a cleaning and paint refresh. I don't know the cost but it is cheaper than 1600 per seat for sure.

Have you checked with any upholstery shops to get an idea on what it would take to repair? I've got a very reputable shop by my house in Atlanta that does stuff like this all day.

What specifically is worn? The entire seat surface or just certain areas?

Ok. I don't want to restore, I just want new seats or new leather, want that new car scent again. I don't really get anything from these replies, I also know there must be someone who deal with the coding, well I just would love to know who can help me, like a name and website I can contact, I don't have time to spend searching all over the net, that's why I ask here.
Solution 1: is oem BMW my only option where I can buy the leather for the seats? Or some other company?
Solution 2: out in aftermarket seat, but I need a place or a person who can tell me the easy way to have no airbag light, is there a plug and play or a link to instructions on how to do it?
Appreciate all ur help guys....thanks
