Seats

I have a 2016 340xi with the synthetic leather seats. My drivers seat fabric is wearing out to the point I can see filler. Is this normal??? Seems pretty poor quality for a car with 45k miles, and given I wear a suit (not abrasive clothing) and weigh about 165lbs.

What gives BMW?

I do notice some of my fake leather starting to crack on the driver side left seat bolster.

Clean and conditioned....even fake will go a long way

I have 123, 400 on my leather seats with no appreciable wear showing. normally proper cleaning and treatment they should last. Can you post pics of the worn seat?
