Ahh yes, I know the ones! Some early V6 Xantias had the same seats with Alcantra in the middle. Terrible stuff, wears like mad but looks and feels utterly lovely when in good condition.

My 2.1TD originally had very badly worn Alcantara seats. I replaced them with leather.

Given that full leathers are hard to come by for the XM and no doubt expensive, have you looked into having them redone in leather by a seat refurbishing outfit? There's a good few out there serving the classic car fraternity.
