X5M Leather Repair Options?
I'm finally retiring my X5M from daily driver work duties. And now I'm preparing to deal with the wear and tear it's accumulated in the past 2 years.
My driver side, rear driver side passenger door panel, and rear head rest are "pitted" with a few tiny holes and quarter-inch tears. The torn leather is still intact and folded over. I've been holding them down in place with gaffers tape until I could figure out a repair solution. I'm in NYC and having a difficult time finding a detailing shop that can assist me with this. It appears my only solution is DIY (glue and dye) or buy expensive OEM replacement panels (over $1k a piece!). Anyone have experience or a good solution to leather repair? |

Usually your dealer will know of a company that does leather repair that they use for their trade ins. Sometimes it's worth it to let them have a go at it. They fixed mine and can't even tell it's been fixed. They where very good.

I can PM you their contact info if you are interested. They were great to deal with and completed the repair in about 2 hours. I dropped the car off, went to breakfast at a nearby diner, and came back and drove home.
