Seat covers
Any recommendations on seat covers for leatherette on an R56? These are pretty sweaty in hot weather. Sheepskin maybe?

I went with sheepskin ones made special for a mini so they don't interfere with airbags. You can find them on eBay

Another option is CoverKing or Wet Okley.

Buy one beaded seat cover from Walmart and try it out on a hot day. 10 seconds on/off. If you don't like it take it back.

Saw a post yesterday about these:

People who have them seem pretty happy.

Sheepskins work great both hot and cold but they change the look of the interior completely. And good ones aren't cheap.

I sure love mine! Next car I buy, the Wet Okoles are the first thing going in. They stay cool in the heat, warm in the cold, are waterproof, look slick, and wear wonderfully.

Post photos when you get them in!
