Seats common problem?

[Sp33dy1]

Hello I'm new here, and in the process on purchasing a Z4 2003. The seats are a bit worn both on drivers and passengers arm support is this common

Do you mean the seat bolsters? It's quite common for these to wear - it's the action of sliding over them to get in and out of the Zed.

I nearly always have the roof down so tend to step in and slide down the back of the seat rather than across the seat edge.

Your car is also an e85/6 and this has been posted in the e89 area. You'll get better responses for older cars in the proper section.

Yep - it's one of the things we all look for when buying - depending how bad it is it can be sorted with specialist products or specialist help.

If they're black leather you can easily make them over yourself with black shoe polish & leather clean/protectant

Common issue, most Zeds suffer and as mr wilks says, if not dreadful then can be sorted.

I keep my seats well fed and shiny so that I slip into place - together with the sliding down the back rather than across the seats helps.

Not a deal breaker unless it's particularly bad, and worn through - there are specialists that can sort it.
