Need seat covers for our 2003 Z4 2.5i roadster

Suggestions please for seat covers for our 2003 2.5i. It has what BMW laughingly calls leatherette covers, really just coarse vinyl-it's slippery and it doesn't breathe. Hate it but love the car otherwise.

Need something compatible with the seat belt loops and manual controls for seat adjustments-that breathes and is not slippery. TIA.

I got some custom seat covers by CoverKing in Spacer Mesh material for my X3 black leather front seats to use through the summer. Very breathable, excellent fit and all controls accessible. I ordered them through costco for $100 a pair. Took a couple weeks to arrive since they're made to order.

Hmm, it does not show 2003 but I am pretty sure there was not a difference between 2003 and 2004 for seats.

Thanks for all the replies. I did go with the CoverKing Spacer Mesh. I've watched the videos and am pretty sure I can install them myself.

I just ordered a set of these for my Z4. How did they work out? Any pics you could share?

It's been awhile, but IIRC I didn't have much trouble installing the covers. If you haven't already, watch the videos. I did not remove the guide brackets for the shoulder belts. After the head rests are removed, there is a Torx screw accessed. Removing that allows the shoulder belt to be removed completely. Removed the seats-which allowed me to clean thoroughly under them, after all I did buy the vehicle used.
The covers had openings with finished edges around the guides and so far have worked great. The seam for that trim is on the backside of the guide on the right seat, but on the front of thee guide on the left seat, and my only real complaint is it's starting to fray from the belt rubbing on it.
The covers are not as breathable as I hoped they would be and are also a bit slipperier than I thought they would be, but over all not too bad. The blue color does give the interior some life and matches the blue in the BMW emblem.

Just ordered a set for my Z4, they look like a quality make and am looking forward to getting them. I'll post the end results, thanks for the link.

I got the new seat covers from "Lseat" .com, and had them installed. I'm very pleased with the seat cover quality, fit and finish, on a scale of 1-10, I'd say they're a 9 overall. The cost was reasonable, If you look closely you can see the blue stitching. They look better in person but here are some pictures. I saved the original covers and will post them for sale as well. Great condition, just didn't like the material.
