Unhappy

I have an 04 with the standard seats. They really do not have enough lateral support, I find myself holding on to things going around turns! The only solution I can think of is to get some good fitted sheepskin seatcovers, but of course they are not cheap. Anyone have experience or recomendations? Thanks!

The Holiday Catalog from BavAuto.com has them. Single seat ~ $130.00, pair ~$250.00. 100% sheepskin in beige or charcoal or combination leather/sheepskin in black leather w/ charcoal sheepskin.

Note: must check for year & model.

Uh, OK, thats groovy enough, but does anyone out there have any experience with the skins of sheeps on their seats? Like, will it keep me from sliding around and save my leather? Should I get hyde of a Nauga? Help!

Seat covers are not recommended on any seats that have pressure sensitive airbag sensors.

:'( Bummer! Where did you find that? I suppose it makes sense. So surely someone out there has some sheepskin or some sort of seat cover, any advice? THanks

I wanted to purchase them at a BMW Dealer and was told that they don't have them (2006-530I)for that reason.
