OEM Nappa Leather

[M/Anthony]

Does anyone know where you can buy a reel or like a roll of OEM Nappa Leather?

I’m not sure if they even sell OEM leather anymore, but I know where’s some companies who make similar to oem leather. Maybe check relicate.

Best bet is try and match the grain. Finding OE hide is gonna be hard.

Yerp, Relicate has been the vendor most recognized (at least on ye ‘ole M3F) as having the closest thing to factory Nappa...both in texture & color. But, it’s pricey!

Theirs oem e46 m3 seat covers brand new on Kijiji.ca. Canadian site. Located in Quebec. $300 cad. I didn’t pull the trigger because the part numbers on packaging show imolarot. Owner says the are bought from bmw si ge doesn’t know why the part numbers are wrong. Also they look used and wrinkles in area that are usual for used seats but that could be how they were packages.

Ok, thanks, I just want brand new OEM leather, as once Nappa leather gets hard and shrinks, there's nothing to do besides a respray. It would be nice to feel what Nappa leather feels like brand new too. I will look up some of those companies, thanks for suggesting and ur inputs. Lastly any info on ASC fabrics or any thoughts?

Relicate seems to be a very nice quality company, too and they don't sell m texture

Found the listing for the seat covers. I strongly suspect someone swapped to imola, and these were the used originals. Maybe still worth it at the price if someone is working with a torn up seat, but I don't think they are new.

That’s exactly what i thought. And I’m not local to him so can’t see it in person. Shady if that is what he did.

I saw that add and first thing that hit my eye is how shiny that is, new nappa leather is dull and those cracks are from seating.. that seller should be kicked in the nuts

I'm down for a road trip to go do that.
Not only are they used but they are as old as they can get.
