Anyone want to do wrap real leather for your seat?

I got quote $2k for getting redone my leatherette into BMW red (coral red or Imola red probably). I thought we could get group discount.

Hmm I always regretted not getting it in Coral Red. How is this done? Just take off the leatherette and wrap it in real leather or complete new seats? Are the seat functions still going to be there after, like heated seats and power settings?

Why not just get a Recaro CS for 2K? Money better spent, no?

This is for front and back seats? What about the side panels on the inside of the doors?

Can you pm me which shop you spoke to?

I got quoted $3200+tax for doing "partial" leather seat surface + 2 door panel

I told the shop I want some brown with a bit of redness leather and that's the quote I got from roughly 2 weeks ago.

Why didn't you just get the car with leather to begin with? Wasn't it only $2k straight from the factory?

some people don't really like BMW quality leather, it's a bit stiff.

so doing an aftermarket wrap you can get yourself a nicer quality.

when you get $12k off a 2011, you don't seem to have other choice but to pick up what you see in the lot.
