E53 Cloth sport seats?
 

Hi everyone, I have searched the internet & Forums but I wasn’t able to find very much information regarding repairing or reupholstering leather & cloth sport seats. I have found a 4.6is model with leather bolster & cloth insert sport seats and the driver seat cloth is pretty worn out and has a rip/tear in it.

Just wondering where I could find this cloth material to get the seat repaired/reupholstered?

Was also thinking might be less costly to find a used front passenger seat and transfer the good material to the driver seat...?

Thanks

Do you mean Alcantera sport seats?

Hi,

The cloth inserts kind of have a checkerboard pattern - some people call it houndstooth?

I’ll see if I can attach a picture...

You live in Canada, that explains it. US X5s came with leather interior.

This is a link to a leather motorcycle seat. :dunno:

But it's a BMW motorcycle.

That is true...so some points for at least being brand specific. :D

I've never seen an X5 with cloth seats.
This probably won't be easy to find.
I'd rather have them professionally reupholstered
