Seat repair or replace
Howdy folks,
The bottom drive seat cushion started to shed. I took the seat trim out and noticed that the foam was falling apart all over the place. What are my options? I tried searching for seat foam replacement - no useful results. Buying a used seat will simply delay the problem. What else? Is there such a thing as a new BMW seat or bottom foam? Thank you! Edit: wrong forum, can a mod please move this thread to General? |

I could be wrong as I’ve never done anything like this myself. But looking at getbmwparts.com, under body-front seat components, they appear to list a part number for the foam. There are different part numbers based on what option the seat has.
I’m not sure how involved it would be to try and just swap the foam. Worth looking into. Maybe try a well regarded custom interior installer around your area and ask them if it’s possible to swap? |

I'm a fan of repair over replace. But take it to a reputable shop and get a quote for each, then make a decision.
If your side bolster is wearing as well, might make sense to get it all replaced. |
