Guys,
Just got back from my trip to Germany. Unfortunately got ill so didnt have a great time and to top it off my father, whilst getting into the driver seat caught one of the seam buttons on his trousers on the leather and it has punctured the drivers seat!

It is about 1 cm away from the drivers doorside side support seam and is about 7mm long. Almost like its been stabbed by a scalpel.
Not really something you want to happen to a car with only 2,000 miles on the clock.

Anyone know the best way of repairing it and estimated cost?

BMW said they can fix it but obviously at a huge cost!

At such a low mileage, I think I would be tempted to replace the affected seat cover.

Don't know how the miracle repairers would get on with such a repair?
