The install is extremely easy. Removing the seats takes 10 minutes at most.

They really just slip over. The entire install including removing and re installing the seats took less than an hour.


I went with the black with black suede center and red stitching. Holds you in place really well not and no more sliding around.

it does feel like I am sitting up higher now though. I will need to lower the seat soon!

MY 2004 seats are pristine. I've had Wet Okole neoprene covers on for the past six years 'cause I'm top down a lot, I eat in my car and my GF creams when I hit VTEC.

I have used quite a few (including lexol), and will only ever use Leatherique. Not saying the others aren't good, just saying I wasn't happy with the results.

BMWs have very soft novilio leather in M3s. Much softer - and less durable - than the stuff in the s2k, unfortunately. Leatherique can keep it like new for many tens of thousands of miles (most start to see a decent amount of wear after <10k miles). It also doesn't leave any nasty residue on the leather, keeps it supple, and gives it that nice matte look/texture that new leather has.

Here are some pics of my m3 (extended leather) with just under 24k miles on it -

Looks really nice, had now idea that they sat higher though.

I don't see a euro light switch in your M. Have you re-enabled the rear fog lights yet?

Nah, never did. Thought about it though. Guess I just didn't have a real need when I was driving the car.

It's actually pretty simple. The entire circuit is there, you just need to trim off the stand off tabs on the back of the button. It's pretty easy to get the switch out, trim the tabs and get it back in.

It took me all of about 10 minutes.
