I tried dyeing my seats with a "professional quality" leather dye.
Looked like crap when I was done and ultimately had the seats recovered.

Theres a guy on here who completely restored his seats using the same leather dye the original manufacturer used. Looked like new when he was done.

Search for "seats" and "airbrush" and I think you'll find it.

If you are handy and want to save a few bucks try leatherseats.com
I recovered all 4 in my e30 and added 2 extra headrest covers, added heaters for the seats and probably was under 1k.

Their website doesn't list the Z4 but I would give them a call.
good luck
Bruce

You know, I saw this out of the corner of one of your pics in another thread (I think the carbon hydro dip thread?). Looks stellar, nice touch.

Thanks Matt, the larger bolsters and the suede really hold you in place during "spirited " driving
