I bought a new driver's seat 'cover' - ie the upholstery cloth - from BMW
for my E34 some time ago and it wasn't expensive, and not a difficult job
to change. Dunno if it's still available. If they're the same, it would be
equally as easy to swap the 'cover' from a left to right seat. The seats
themselves on mine wouldn't have swapped as the driver's one had height
adjustment and the frame was different. IIRC, you'd have problems with the
seat belt catch too as it fixes to the seat frame.

But that was cloth. Leather would probably be cheaper to have repaired by
a specialist.
