Seat Covers for Sport Seats/M135i

I need a seat cover for temporary use when I go mountain biking in my M135i. So the cover needs to fit well on the leather sport seat and also be waterproof. Can anyone recommend one that fits this seat well?

Thanks in advance.

Yeah, i'd be interested in one of these also. Have you found a suitable one yet?

Look forward to hearing what you use!

Thanks,

Ben

I'm still without covers, my MTB is a bit broken at the moment but still need to get some seat covers sorted.

You misunderstand curly, the cover is for me when I'm wet and muddy. My bike is never going inside my M135i.

I had to laugh at the mental pictures.

curly - commuter cyclist, maybe slightly sweaty after getting to the car on the fold up.

AAddict - hardcore offroad mountainbiking hooligan, completely covered in crap from head to foot with a great grin on as the bike goes on the rack.

Haha, this too made me laugh: I'm exactly the same as yourself! Got a taster for propper forest trailing with technical sections the other weekend and i can appreciate the need for seat covers. Bike, that is never going near my M-Sport interior

AAdict, have you got the roof rack? If so, did you go for the BMW or Thule system (from what i can see they are near identical), and if Thule: which setup (Sorry for all the questions)

I would be really interested to hear what system you are using and any good/bad points. I'm currently looking into a Thule system for the roof, its pricey but i guess its the least likely route for my car getting damaged!!

Thanks

I must admit to enjoying getting 'down n dirty' , it's part of the fun, I'm not one for staying on safe bridleways and forest fire roads, I'm more about getting off the beaten track and that often brings rocks, streams and mud etc.
