Stop wearing jeans, move to sweatpants they will help as well.

mine looks as good as the day I picked it up--I've always done the mem 1 and mem 3 deal and I'm careful getting in and out. My car has just over 4000 miles and a year old. It also stays garaged most of its life, sad, I know!
frankly, I'm much more concerned about the wear on the cams and lifters

Mine are significantly warn down 
the Bolsters do stick out quite a ways and get scrapped everytime you get in and out of the car.. Even if you are careful, it is going to happen.
This is more apparent on those vehicles of people like myself who use the car as our daily driver.

My seats show wear, but aren't too bad. I condition them regularly, and I'm tall and skinny. It makes it easy to get out of the car without crushing the side bolster.
Plus, I use:
mem1: driving position
mem2: track position
mem3: exit position

I have 14,000 kms on my car and my seats are fine. I am quite careful getting in and out though and I keep my interior pristine. However I have white seats so maybe they don't show wear as badly.

My car is 3 months old, has 9000km (5000 miles) and I recently noticed some premature wear on the left bolster. I showed it to my dealer and he agreed it was premature wear. He put a note in my file and said to wait a little until it got worse and he'd put in a new seat if it got worse.
I'm not fat and I don't wear anything that could have accelerated this...
Just normal every day entries and exits with dress pants or jeans...

People have scratched my leather bolsters on the passenger side because they wear those hardcore (Look at me trying to be trendy with my 3 inch jeans buttons sticking out) when they enter and exit my car.

Excuse the pulpit pontification but... first off, I obsess about every freaking idiosyncrasy of my damn C63 because I love it so. It is definitely easy to get caught up in things like leather wear on seat bolsters and changing oil at 5000 miles; and not 10,000 miles. Often I forget to just enjoy the hell out of the car for what it is - a beautiful high performance piece of machinery that will ultimately become obsolete and wear out no matter what you do. Remebering this will make trivialities like leather wear irrelevant. Don't sweat the small stuff and drive it while you can - before we all are riding around in emasculated, hybrid, green, sexless, neuter wagons.
