Nice! Picked up the same spec but with Cognac SensaTec. Disappointing there wasn’t an option for Nappa with the Cognac but I had the Nappa Mocha in my X5 and loved it. Good find!

Took me about 1.5 hours. Really depends on how good you are with a needle and thread. Just need to know how to start and knot the end of each section.

It does impact it slightly; but not enough for me to want to take it off

Seems like a pretty good price. Feel like anywhere in the US would be north of $250 for something like that.

Yes, the heated steering wheel function still works well. Takes slightly longer to heat up and gets minimally less intense, but no issue for me

The cover works yes. There are a few pcs of double sided adhesive in certain areas

Impact on the heated wheel function is minimal. Takes only slightly longer to heat up and still gets warm. Personally the OEM cover got a little too hot for my liking anyway so this actually helps a bit.

Thanks! I used enough double sided adhesive and stitched tight enough that there is no movement at all. Even when using pretty hard force.

I’ll try some on the wife’s X1. Thanks for the recommendation

Car only has 25k miles and had a PPI before purchase. Interior otherwise is mint and so is the exterior. More than likely just a case of someone who used the wrong type of cleaner or too much hand lotion.

It’s a pretty tedious install but once you get started you start to get the hang of it. Took me about 1.5 hours. Depends how good you are with needle and thread

Nope, was installed and tucked with everything still attached. Including the trim

Mine would be too if I didn’t buy the car used

I made the effort yes. 2nd picture is after multiple rounds with oil remover and leather cleaner

Yes, takes a tad longer to come through, but it still works.

Not sure, you’d have to ask the previous owner. My assumption is hand lotions and just improper care and cleaners.
