yup from the pictures in the first post the material looks 100% like my prev ride same biege somemore. the 318 seat has only a thin hard layer of cushion which is rather harsh even jap cars more comfy the diff between 318 and other models really is heaven and earth

Re: Leather of seats peeling off

I bought mine Junr last year, believe that it's around the same time you have it, the only thing written in the sales agreement was a M aerodynamic kit.Bro can snap picture and post, I can't seems to find the word.

But i recall my sales guy telling me is Dakota leader, my wife spend almost 30 mins on the colour and trimming combination.

Good luck, guys, in getting a fair outcome. From what you've written, this is clearly not acceptable and unbecoming of a Premium Brand Automobile company!

Truth be told, even in my F02, I feel the leather quality isn't as good or luxurious as when I was driving the Mercs. And, another forumer mentioned that he (or his friend) felt that the leather offered in the W221 was superior to that of the leather in the F02 - I would have to agree that the MB's leather feels softer & more luxurious.

BMW needs to start taking care of minutiae like this, if it wants to keep the "no 1 premium car brand in Singapore" title!

Re: Leather of seats peeling off

bmw don't give a damn about singapore ... the market is as small as peanut to them

we need american, german and the chinese to shake them up a little bit

BMW's biggest single market is the United States, where it sells about 18 percent of its vehicles. It is followed by Germany and China, accounting for 17.8 percent and almost 14 percent, respectively.

nonetheless, bmw aims to get to the top for 2012 worldwide sales. competition drives excellence. i do hope merc and audi/vg can give bmw a run for their money.

Thanks bro. I totally agree, we pay premium prices to expect premium quality.
Generally, I feel BMW as a whole shd step up on their QC, especially the production is direct frm Germany!
My servicing exec say have to wait awhile as BMW Asia handles the whole asia hence waiting period longer.

More competition will make them really work harder and provide premium quality cars.

Re: Leather of seats peeling off

Sukuragi, I took a picture of my E90 Dakota this morning and can't help but feel that the ones they gave you looked a little rubbery compared to mine, which is more than 5 years old. The seat is practically not affected and I can accept some abrasions on the back-rest.

I suspect the ones they gave you was leatherette as Terry pointed out. See my pics.

Re: Leather of seats peeling off

Re: Leather of seats peeling off

If you want, I could also take photos of my Dakota & show/share it with you - then you can go bang table - if it is indeed leatherette instead of leather!

Re: Leather of seats peeling off

this is totally unacceptable.

Re: Leather of seats peeling off

E90 318 should be synthetic (not real) leather and not dakota leather
i could be wrong as pml change their spec/option frequently

 

[Sukuragi]

Re: Leather of seats peeling off

It is suppose to be synthetic for 318, but the one I gotten was of a change specs.
Plus I have check the Servcing exec at munich and also seen pics sample in the 3 series sales info book, it looks similar too
