Are there good sources for 535i replacement leather seat covers?
How difficult is it to replace these?
Thanks!

Maybe try this, I believe this guy has been in business for a long time with very good if not perfect reviews, I’m going to get his kit when it’s time to do my seats, they also offer both leather and vinyl depending on your preference.
These sets are pretty good. My friend has a really good upholsterer installing a set of Llama skins in his 635Csi. The photos look good but I won't see them in person for another week or so.Seeker wrote: ↑Oct 18, 2020 2:36 AMMaybe try this, I believe this guy has been in business for a long time with very good if not perfect reviews, I’m going to get his kit when it’s time to do my seats, they also offer both leather and vinyl depending on your preference.

I bought a set 3 years ago for my full 535is restoration project. Quality and fitment overall is very good. Did everything myself and were very happy with the result. Definitely recommend them.Seeker wrote: ↑Oct 18, 2020 3:22 PMI’d be very interested to hear your opinion on how they look in person, please keep us posted.vinceg101 wrote: ↑Oct 18, 2020 1:06 PMThese sets are pretty good.

This is for his 1985 EU 635Csi, Diamandschwartz over Llama:
(Sorry for the poorer images, it was the end of the day and the light was failing).
They came out remarkably well, and the color was a good match although not a 100% to the original (the rears are still the original and due to a quirk in my mind about Llama, they turn kind of pink as they age). The color of this leather best matches the vinyl of the dash and console (almost dead-on).
He had a professional upholsterer and leather craftsman install them and while he had some issues about these (he is a perfectionist and probably one of the best in the business) he ended up doing a fantastic job. His issues revolved around the foam backing these came with (too thick) and some of the piping and I think some overall fitment; in the end he worked his way through it all.
