Got a problem with the drivers seat on my 3 month (2800 mile) old BMW, this started to apear 1 month after getting the car and has been getting worst since.

l dont drive with anything in my pockets and just were normal jeans or suit trousers when driving so dont understand whats causing the wear, when l do finally find the time to take it into BMW (should be able to this saturday) do you think they will sort it under warranty as its not right for a new car seat to wear this quickly.

strange that its only in the corner

has got bent and catching the material as you move your leg up and down using the clutch pedal

No studs on any of my jeans near that area plus you only move the lower legs when driving and the damage is about 4 inches long.

I reckon it's a yarn fault, the seat cloth isn't finished correctly causing "pilling" of the kind you used to get with fleece cloths years back.

It certainly shouldn't wear so quickly though.

If you complain in the right way maybe they will swap them for leather free of charge?

Free upgrades ftw!

What do you mean, a few years back? I do this to everything. tee shirts, sweatshirts, bedsheets, pillows, pockets in my jeans, pretty much everything i touch. The g/f goes mad about it. lol
Never done it to a car seat though.

do you wear a jacket with velcro on it cause that looks like the damage caused by the rough side of a velcro strip being repeatedly pressed on to it

Is there a logo on the back of your jeans? Velcro on some clothing?
Keep anything in your left butt cheek pocket?

Keys, wallet, sand paper, rough diamonds etc?


Still though, it shouldn't do that after 3 months.
