Alex is right on every point, including the price, except for the fact that 
the seat cover replacements for 87 325's are no longer available from BMW - 
at least according to two local dealers.

Mine too are worn through.   I took the seat apart, bought a kick-ass 
sewing machine (Pfaff, all gear drive, German-made of course), and sewed in 
a patch, but I'd like new covers too.  I've also learned the limits of my 
sewing ability.

Any other ideas?

Thanks.
