My body is not of the buffet shape variant so Ive yet to see the excessive wear in the history of my ownership of these cars. Even in cars I kept for over 3 years which was the 2007 Turbo with full alcantara. This car has it in the areas where bolstering occurs along with the side thigh area but the material is well put together and I dont see a long term issue.

Thanks and appreciate the feedback as usual given the insight on your previous Alcantara seating in prior cars and the gut feel that BMW's application is up to snuff. I too am not of the buffet shaped variant but at 6'6" and 235 lbs my thighs are definitely taking advantage of the leather bolstering of my M850i seats. In fact during my down select process I kicked a car or two to the curb as the seats were just to darn narrow and my wife even commented on the LC500 seats wondering how the heck the buffet variant would even fit in them.
