    Looks great, how did the dye match the rear seats, or did you dye the rear seats as well? I've been planning on doing the same thing over the summer to mine. Did you sand the old cracks out, or did it come with a crack filler similar to the leatherique kit? How is the texture on the new seats? Similar to stock leather?

    Thanks!

    What product did you use and where did you get it? From the title, I'm guessing it's called "Magic Mender" but you don't say...

    Yeah it's magic mender. I believe e36 DJ did a writeup on it a while back over on dtm. Could be wrong on the screenname though.

    Thanks, I googled it and came up with this...

    http://www.leatherrepairkits.com/bmw.htm

    I'll definitely look into buying it.

    Yep, thats the website. Secretaznman4u, keep us updated on how well it holds up. It sure does look way better and for quite a bit less money than leatherique, looks very tempting to try out.

    I just noticed in his pic that he doesn't have cup holders.....is that just to do with automatics or does it pertain to a certain model?

    The only problem is that the leather if physically cracked, meaning that this solution is only temporary before the seats need to be replaced, or another application needs to be applied.

    agreed, but 50 dollar quick fix is good enough for me. Cover replacement runs in the 500- 650 per two seats. I am happy
