I don't know if it's just me, but, my butt kind of makes an indent in my seats, before you guys give me crap about that let me explain. What I'm really asking is the leather pulled firm enough? I mean every car I have had has had leather from my Caddi to my Infiniti to my Lexus and Lincoln and the seats where all nice and I think all of them also had heated seats too and I dont remember any of them having a butt mark and what I mean by that is Circle'ish marks. Maybe I will take a picture tomorrow to show what I mean....

I don't have that problem. And I'm "American/German" sized.
Maybe it's the "stiletto effect". Pounds per square inch

Not round butt marks - but I have a couple of small creases developing on the bas of the seats. Its not unsightly but it looks a little odd - just another thing to get them to look at when it goes in next.

Never had that issue with leather before in other BMW's. I know have leather/fabric combo so I don't know if this will become an issue later?

"Leather Creases on the Base of the seat" Think this is a problem? Is others pulled firm? I don't want to be a constant complainer when I go into BMW know what I mean? I mean yes my LED's aren't working and that is legit, but I just don't want to wear out my welcome (or wear out my seat for that matter) so let's see what everyone else says about the Butt Crease. If it doesn't rain I'll take a picture.. Hey maybe Mistress BMW will think I have a nice Butt Crease :winkcool: and send me a pic

My last e60 leather seats did all crease up as if the leather wasn't taught enough. My latest e60 hasn't done this yet, but only 3,500 miles so far. Not good I think as even base Dakota leather is expensive option.

No problems at all with the leather. In fact, much better fit/quality than I had in previous luxury cars. For instance, my Lexus seats were very supple leather, but became creased and aged looking rather quickly.

Hmmm. Butt marks on the seat. Guess it's time to see if JLo drives a Bimmer and then check out the seats.
