there is a small area on my driver's seat bottom area where leather seems to be broken up a little. i just noticed it the other day. the rest of the seat looks fine. would something like this be covered under warranty or is this considered normal wear and tear?

i got my car in march of 2004 and it's a 545

thanks

You are doing extremely well, I think if you made an enquiry under your warranty there would be major laughter and it would not be with you!!

I think it would be wear and tear. Keep cleaning and maintaining your leather seat with Lexol. Mine is 11/03 built and I drive it everyday. Leather is still good. Probably, you wear jeans more often?
