I did get told the grade of my black leather but can't remember.

Again it's top grade and I could have had cheaper.

What kind of longevity can you expect from these as compared to BMW factory leather? I know a lot of original leather interiors look tatty now, but they've stood up pretty well to 20+ years of abuse...

I'm only asking cos I'm planning on retrimmimg an interior.

The guys who did my last retrim are doing my next one, I'm having black nappa leather from Porsche/Bentley supplier.

I've become a bit sad regarding the grades of leather :o:

I reckon these guys will make a steady trade off the zone - those seats look fantastic and the money is right. My touring has black door cards and a black rooflining but grey herringbone cloth seats. How tempting?!

Do they do carpets?
