Greetings all - As summer is approaching, I am 'feeling the heat' to get some seat covers that reduce the amount of sweat that my ass produces (apologies if that was too graphic). I have narrowed it down to sheepskin and the cotton-poly seat covers from BMW.

The cotton-poly BMW seat covers are 'vests' - meaning they don't cover the whole seat, just the center portion. Personally, I like the look of that but cannot find a sheepskin 'vest' for an e90 with base seat.

Does anyone have any idea where I could order such a thing?

It seems that the sheepskin would be more comfortable and keep my buns cooler, but if the cotton-poly BMW vests are also effective, it might be worth saving a few bucks and giving the cotton poly vests a shot.

I welcome anyone's feedback about cooling the seats down bit.

Thanks!

I think www.superlambauto.com is the best choice.

Man I just don't know if I can justify HUNDREDs of dollars for seat covers... I think i'll try the BMW cotton-poly first, and if those are worthless, maybe upgrade to the sheepskin.

i feel like sheepskin will make you even hotter and sweat more.

you should get something that allows more ventilation. have you considered a beaded car seat cover? my taxi driving uncle swears by them and drives for hours without breaking a sweat.

or a bamboo one if you're environmentally conscious. it even features enhanced lumbar support

Hi

I used these as a solution and they work really well and suit a car with seat side airbags. I covered the Holden Lion logo with a BMW badge and they look good. They seat covers do not make you hot and serve the purpose you have outlined. You can also see more detials about them on the holden website www.holden.com.au

Thank you for the helpful responses! I'll add those to the list of considerations.

I thought the same thing about sheepskin, but yeah apparently it does a really good job of staying at a constant (relatively cool) temperature.

Thanks!
