Doing a search on google I see there are some sheepskin oyster, and other cover alternatives out there, but they are pretty generic for a lot of cars and not sure how any of those would fit the sport seats. I really only think I need something for at least for the driver's and maybe passenger seat bottoms, not nessesarily the backrests.

After taking a trip this week thru the mountains and doing some hiking etc, I'd really like something I can slip on the seats to help ease the cleaning needed later after outings like these.
I have ivory (=white) leather in my Z4 that is a daily driver, which includes trips to/from the gym, lumber yard, etc. The only issue I ever had was dye from jeans, and it wiped off immediately. So unless you want seat covers, I'd suggest merely wiping off the dye stain once and a while. I got it off with Lexol, but other's suggest a woolite/water mix. Disclaimer: I only own one pair of jeans, so this isn't a common occurrence with me. If there was a real issue, I'd ditch the jeans before resorting to seat covers on a nice car...
