Does anybody know of a place or person that can help repair twisted seats? The driver and passenger seat are really bad and i've looked around many upholstery shops but none can help me.

The repair, while tedious, is not that difficult. There are plenty of DIYs on this if you cannot find a shop to do it. Plus, you'll save a few hundred bucks fixing it yourself.

Yeah. I can probably do 2 seats in 2 hr redoing ALL drives now that I know how it works.
seat removal required. Some simple tools and 12V power supply.

There is a method that you don't have to remove the seat that I've used twice on my E34s with no issues. Check this!

Seatback twist can be fixed in about 15 minutes per side, and for $zero.
