Not a fan of the SofTex seats.

    My 2010 Five had leather seats and, as you already know, the 2014 comes with SofTex.

    One of the things I liked about the leather is they were slippery, making it easy for me to slide in and out when my back isn't behaving well. These are like velour - wherever you land, there you stay.

    Is this something which will wear down a bit over time? Does anyone have experience in hastening the process? I'm giving strong consideration to sheepskin because it isn't as grippy and I won't have to contort to reach seat heater buttons in the winter and won't have to worry about toweling off after a long drive in the summer.

    Suggestions?
