I bought a set of M3 seats in black but need them to be brown. I figure a color change is going to cost around $200 and a whole lot of time. I found these Lseat covers that claim to be leather and found some older negative reviews about them being decent quality but poor communication and delivery. The newer reviews seem promising. Anyone use these covers? Price seems right.

I'd try this http://www.e46zone.com/forum/topic/47920-dyeing-black-interior-seats-to-saddle-brown-colour-finished-and-it-has-been-fitted-in-the-car/?page=1
Wouldn't take any longer than swapping covers.

Dying was the original plan until I stumbled on to those covers. I've never given alot of thought to using furniture dye, I had only really looked at the SEM kits and the leatherique kits, both of which where about $200+ for the entire kit so I thought if the Lseat covers where as good as they look in the picture then for $300 I felt would be the best way to go. The leatherique kit is fairly time intensive, or I should say lots of wait time, start to finish was 2 days of sitting with leather conditioner on them and 7 days to cure after the dye is applied, to me that seems like alot of time for something to go wrong... Maybe I'll look into furniture dye and see what the difference is if any.
Things would probably be a lot easier if I just wanted a black interior!
