Re-stuffing seats, possible?

[Speed addicted]

I've got a 2001 X5 that it looks like I'll be keeping for a good while yet. After 90K miles the drivers seat bolster is looking pretty tired, is there a cost effective way of re-stuffing these?

My housemate did it on his S2000 - the results are very good.

This is what he did though:

I'd find a local recommended trimmer and see what they suggest.

That's rough as fk, but effective. I'll have a look under the seats to see how they come apart when I get back from offshore!

I think neoprene mouse mats may eb about the right consistency....

Try BMW for replacement seat foams, Ive got new base and backrest foams for my E39 530 sport for sixty quid each and have been quoted another sixty for a professional trimmer to take the seat out and fit the new parts.
