Leather on Comfort Seats

Kanuc · 12-02-2010, 10:56 AM

I have the vented comfort seats on my 2009 X6 (perforated). The seatcover has stretched and folded over causing a permanent crease and higher wear.

Is this normal? Anyone have experience with this on a BMW?

Softer leather in general is thinner and more susceptible to wrinkles.

The standard leather does seem to much more durable and holds its shape better.

I guess it is a trade off between comfort and durability.

Well I've created a ruckus at the dealership and they've said they should cover it under goodwill warranty...

Does the headrest have the M logo?

I have the vented comfort seats on my 50i and I wish I never bought them. The head rest is unadjustable forward and back (unlike the normal seats) and it just too far forward for my taste.

Does any else feel that wayy?
