    Source for tan E46 seat leather?

    Greetings from Dartmouth, MA!

    I have an 04 330xi with 150k on the clock. As you can imagine the driver's seat bolster has gotten quite worn.

    A friend of mine specializes in marine upholstery and he's offered to do the re-upholstery if i can find the leather stock.

    Can anyone recommend a source for leather? Doesn't have to be "Good Lord, that's a *perfect match* " leather, because its a DD (that still goes like stink!). I'm more focused on finding a source that can provide just leather stock, close in both color and texture to my tan ("natural", i think) to what I have now.

    Many TIA for your help,
    Phil

    a better bet might be to hunt down a pair of used seats in good condition and swap them in. If they are just regular tan seats they are a dime a dozen. Can probably pick up a pair for $100 on CL.
