Read any 7, 5, 3, X3, Z4 board or any Mercedes or Range Rover board....and it happens to everyone. My Mom's 1994 E320 had super light, cream beige leather. She had the car for like 12 years...the leather looked brand new. Our neighbors 1989 560SL still has perfect leather. Car compaines nowadays must be using very cheap hides, and/or bad leather dyes.

I have to wipe my Oyster leather down EVERY week to keep the blue jeans stains away. It takes literally 30 seconds. So easy. I use Mother's leather cleaner & conditioner or Lexol. Both work fine. I love the looks of my oyster & black interior...so a little 30 seconds of leather maint once a week is no big deal to me.
