Tony:
I had planned to use these guys when I redo the seats in my 325ES.
how about a report on these guys from anyone out there. I too found out that
getting replacement cloth from BMW was NLA.

I will post other suppliers. I don't have any experience with these guys but
they are the only ones I have found without looking too hard that states
they offer the German cloth with the correct numbers supplier by the owner.

Alex is right on every point, including the price, except for the fact that 
the seat cover replacements for 87 325's are no longer available from BMW - 
at least according to two local dealers.

Mine too are worn through.   I took the seat apart, bought a kick-ass 
sewing machine (Pfaff, all gear drive, German-made of course), and sewed in 
a patch, but I'd like new covers too.  I've also learned the limits of my 
sewing ability.

Any other ideas?

Thanks.
