Too Bad the Seats Are Vinyl
 An otherwise fine car is marred by the standard vinyl "leatherette" seats that have no place on a luxury sports car.  While "leatherette" may look fine, no matter what you call it, vinyl is hot, sticky and uncomfortable.  Why don't they just offer and market honest cloth seats on the base model.  BMW was remarkably uncooperative in addressing the complaint.  While the seats could have easily been recovered in leather, BMW wanted a whopping $6,000 for the leather covers (when the leather package costs only $1,350 to order).  The car is nimble and great fun to drive, but the standard seats and total lack of customer support are troubling.
