As most of you have commented the leather has become rather stiff and to me does not seem to have been of the highest quality leathers but maybe it was for its time ; maybe I am wrong on this. Has anyone recovered the seats and how close a match was it; did an indy shop or BMW do the job, just thinking if this car becomes a long term keeper this task could be on my list. I saw where some folks have used leatherique to restore the leather, I just don't like the simple look(no contrast stitching, for example) and slippery feel,no real texture I guess, thanks, dog
