no offense but its kind of a waste to put comfort seats in when you cant use the features unique to the comfort seats such as the -side bolster power squeezer, the upper back adjustment or the electronic thigh lengethener. You should have just gotten regular leather as you would have the same thing as you do now
Also your leather is wayyyyy too shiny--makes it look cheap. You want a matte factor look. Soapy water and a soft bristle toothbrush with a bit of lexol cleaner. Leathers dont need conditioners when they are treated like all car seats

looks good
might want to give it a deep clean and get out all the dirt and oil from the previous owner

then condition it, i condition mine every week, to it can loosen some of those wrinkles

Well, as always you don't like what everbody else is doing to their cars, so why bother even to comment? And why should I get normal seats, if I can have these that look way better? And for those in the cheap seats (aka you.) I said that the rest of the electrics will be sorted out soon, so everything will be working as stock..
For those with the nice comments; Thanx!

The leather was indeed all cracked up and dry, so I have cleaned the leather a couple of times the last few days...I should look "natural" in a few days, when all the conditioning has taken effect..

Good work!! Looks great ![Thumbsup](https://5series.net/forums/images/smilies/imported/thumbsup.gif)
Good luck getting the next part of the mod done![Smile](https://5series.net/forums/images/smilies/imported/smile.gif)
You mentioned using shoe polish to get the seats looking good -- isn't there a high risk of that coming off on your clothes?
