4.6is alcantara interior

I recently bought an 03 4.6is. It has the checkered Alcantara interior which is in pretty good shape however, I want to make it next to perfect but BMW no longer makes/sells the seat backs and bottoms for this interior option. Any ideas or leads to new replacements?

Good luck on your quest, hope Clean's lead pans out for you. I expect this wont be a easy or cheap journey. I had no luck when I was looking/pricing this same work to be done on a candidate before I found the one I have now.

I've seen 4.6s at junkyards.

Trust me. I've seen crushed beer cans in better condition.

Keep in mind, there were only 3k(ish) ever made. Likely hood is measured in years. With how neglected alot of these have been, the alcantara is highly susceptible to ripping.
