Posted here for hopefully a wider audience, although I have asked in the thread in the E70 problem section so hope that's ok.

Anyone used these people before?

another option that comes well recommended, no personal experience: Furniture Clinic

In my experience it's usually cheaper just to buy another seat!

I put a small rip in my 3 series doorcard leather, £70 to repair (IIRC) £30 for a second hand but mint doorcard.

This is only 7 - 10 undone stitches.

I've emailed the company I found for a quote and see what happens.

I did email the dealers to see if they could recommend someone, that was on Friday, but no reply. Bit sad really as they'd been brilliant up to then.

I've been quoted £90.

Sound reasonable?

Just an update, booked in for Tuesday.

I'll keep you posted.

Nice one

Interested to see the outcome of this

I'll post before / after pics.

He covers your area too I think.

Here are the before and after pics - the guy did a great job IMHO.

The stictches were coming undone here:


Like this:





After the repair:





All done quickly and on my drive.

I'm really pleased with the outcome.

nicely done!

how did they manage to do that - remove the leather and from the other side? also how much did they charge?

Nice neat job X box 

It was hand stitched by the guy. Seat wasn't removed, he just knew his stuff. He does car seats but also all upholstery repairs.

It was £90.

I'd rather spend that now than watch it get worse. Plus he comes to you.

Really pleased.

Looks good quality workmanship.

Thanks for the pre/post -might get In touch for my drivers bolster

Ask for Dale.

Tell him that you got the info from a guy on an X5 forum. He says he gets lots of work that way.

That's a nice result, very good.
