Congrats!
yes the silverstone will require additional cleanings vs. a darker color. Even the sand beige nappa seats in my wife's 3.5d show stains on the side seat bolster (both top and bottom) from blue jeans when you slide in and out. Not sure if the merino leather wears better than nappa, guessing that it will as it doesn't seem as soft as the nappa.
See my note above about the comfort seats...absolutely without a doubt you should get the comfort seats
So I placed an order for a '11 X5 M, and I am debating my color choices.
I really like the cinnamon leather...looks very rich and special, but they don't make it perforated for the active/ventilated seats!
I was thinking Silverstone II, but is it really going to get dirty all the time? I wouldn't want to have to live/worry about that.
Are the active/multi-contour seats really much better than the standard? I would love ventilated seats, but have to weigh if it would be worth it vs. cinnamon interior!
Any comments/suggestions?[/QUOTE]
