In my opinion MB seats are a simple and elegant design statement. No other car seat looks like an MB seat, or feels like an MB seat. EVEN MB Tex has a very high quality feel... down to the seams, piping, and stitching.

It would probably take some big $ to retro-fit another manufacturers seat into the front of an MB properly if you didnt do it yourself, not to mention the headache of fitting a different rear seat.... what would you do with the rear head rests?
well, I was hoping to complete a few more details before I snapped some pictures, but my original goal last winter was to have replaced my MB seats with something much better. But except for seat track covering and a few minor carpet issues, my project is complete. I'll try to post some pictures here soon. The BMW seats do not look Frankenstein IMHO, but I will take a few shots and let you be the judge.

BTW, most pieces/parts from the old seats are free for the asking if you pay shipping - PM me.
