I agree... I've seen LOTS of MINIs with leather seats where the bottom of the seat stretches out and looks horrible over time. In fact, it happened to our R53 with blue/black leather seats.

After that happened we always buy the leatherette seats now and couldn't be happier with them (haven't had any stretching problems at all and the leatherette looks great). Personally, and IMHO, you should save the $2,000 bucks on the leather and put it into other options in the car. It may look great when new, but what's it going to look like 50,000 miles down the road???
