Need Easily removed and washable seatcover for 135i...Any suggestions?

I play golf a few times a week and I walk <for the exercise if you can believe it>. Here in Houston though you are pouring sweat just walking to your car in the summer. After walking 9 holes carrying my bag and I drenched. Obviously, I want to protect the leather.

Does anyone know if an easily removable 135i seat cover that is water proof and can be washed is or will be available? Maybe a 335i one would work? Thanks!

Buy an XL clear poncho and toss it over the seats and bring a towel for the bottom to sit on and soak up all the sweat then clean off the poncho when you get out of the car.. I know it sounds dumb but its very cheap and you can store both in a small bag in the trunk for those dirty days.

I know a seat cover is a lot better but just incase they are really expensive or you cant find one I wanted to throw out the idea.

I've never had a problem with sweat damaging my seats. I go to the gym regularly and cycle.

I would probably just bring an extra shirt or 2 and throw a towel down to sit on.

Just make sure you keep your leather well oiled over the years and you will not have a problem. To even consider that leather is so delicate is amusing. Where do people come up with this stuff?

FWIW, your seats are made out of the same stuff as baseball mits, leather can take alot of abuse! It is just requires periodic maintenance.
