Well, a month or so ago, I was getting in my car one cold night, and when I sat down, I heard a big CRACK. Turned out, the vinyl under my butt cracked all up. Since then, the cracks have been widening and getting worse. Well, today I was at the BMW dealer ordering touch up paint for my car, and figured I'd ask the parts guy if you can still order the seat covers. Figured it'd be a long shot considering the age of the car (In my experienc, parts like that are typically some of the earliest discontinued parts). The guy looked up my trim code off the VIN, and discovered that they still had access to the part numbers for the seat vinyl. He checked another system and found that there are six lower seat covers available in my color left in Germany. They don't make them anymore, but the system showed that there are six seat covers left. The cost is $70 some dollars. So, I ordered one, and we'll find out next week for sure if they are truly available. Hopefully, the system isn't inaccurate and they actually do have one left. He said it will take a week or two to get the cover shipped over here. So, I will hopefully be getting one of the last six seat covers left in the world! Pretty cool!

BMW actually FedExe'd the thing to the dealer in a big box. It had to have cost a fortune to send it the way they did - I'm glad BMW paid for the shipping!
