Does anyone know if its possible to get raplacement insert strips for bubble leather seats. My stitching has torn and it doesn't look repairable?

thanks

You can generally get new covers from BMW - not sure if bubble leather is still available, but worth checking with your local dealer - I've been able to source cloth covers for a 1986 325, and leather covers for 1989 325 with sports seats.

thanks mark, what sort of price were you looking at for your job? I have a feeling its going to be hugely expensive for leather from BMW, and was hoping someone would have some spare bubble inserts (as 'hands' did a while ago!) that I could buy
