Driver Seat Leather Already Sagging (2 weeks of ownership)

m2for2 · 12-23-2023, 03:22 AM

As the title suggests, the driver seat leather in my brand new M3 is already sagging.

If this sagging persists and worsens, is this something that would be covered under the BMW factory warranty?

Furthermore, does anyone have experience doing a full DIY ceramic coat on the interior leather? I'm considering doing that.

Does it make a significant difference in how well the leather holds up against sagging, abrasion, fading, etc. over the years?

I've had a different brand cover driver seat leather wear when I pushed them on it, showing them it was my 110 lb wife's primary vehicle and her little tush wasn't wearing the leather out.

Got any pics so we can see what you are referring to?

Ceramic will really only help with cleanliness.

Not sure what you mean by sagging? Going to need pics. After 3 weeks my ivory interior is still perfect.
