Does anyone make a high quality seat "vest" for BMW sport seats? What I mean by seat vest is something like a seat cover, but it only runs down the middle of the seat and does not cover the side bolsters.
Winter is coming on again and the frigid non-heated 'ette seats are a drag. In this nasy hot weather we have been having, I sweat all over the seats. It doesn't help that in the mornings we have physical fitness some distance from the gym and I seat up my seats driving to the showers.
From a apperence standpoint and the sweat factor mentioned above I would like to avoid a sheep skin like material.
I did some searching yesterday, but only found full seat covers...Most were pretty nasty looking.

How far ist it? | It's a mile or two and I have to carry my uniform...so I would do our physical fittness, walk a mile lugging all my clothes and gear, shower, walk back over a mile in 110 degree heat (or freezing temps in the winter). Since this is in the morning before work, I am going to loose a load of time.
Beyond the working out, just sitting in the car on really hot days makes one stick to the seats or start sweating on long drives...yuck. In the winter after the car has set out in sub freexing temps at work, the seats a pretty rude surprise when you sit down.
I really wish I knew cloth seats were a hidden option.

Now we're telling kids about how we remember having to actually walk from P.E. to the showers.  Seriously, I'm guessing he wouldn't bring it up if it was close enough to walk. I remember our coach having us drive to various places several miles away for track practice sometimes. Of course gas was cheap way back then. 
Just a suggestion, but I have beige interior and always keep a matching beige towel in the car to put over the seat or tuck into the top into the head rest for whenever I'm sweaty from the gym or coming home from the beach. Then you can just pull it off and throw it in the trunk or backseat floor for normal driving. IMO, it's a better option than attaching something ugly to the seat on a semi permanent basis.

OK, I get it. If itīs any consolation, the leather seats are just as bad. Any sunshine comes out and my back gets sweated through (I donīt believe in deep freezing my frontside with the AC).
But then, I donīt think seat covers will help either. The problem with the sweaty back is that the moisture has nowhere to go since it canīt pass the ette. Youīll only be putting on another layer of cloth that youīll sweat through.
Cloth seats really do have an advantage here. Or an E or S Merc with climatized perforated leather seats.
