Silverstone II leather

Hey Guys,

For those that have or have had experience with this color, how do you think it holds up over the years? I used to have grey leather on my e36 m3, and did note discoloration on my drivers seat pretty quickly.

Thanks.
_Tom

The silverstone on the XMs is lighter than say the M3 E90s. So it takes extra regular cleaning. But the contrast between the grey leather and the black carpets/lining is really great.

Cheers,

My brother has it on his M5 and urged me not to get it.. It shows dirt everywhere.. On the seats, on the arm rests.. It's like that goopy, dark, caked in, deep dirt..
That goes especially true if you go with the "additional" leather package that puts it everywhere..

If you have dogs.. Do not get this leather.. But it does look nice new.

Thx.

Silver w/ the black contrast looks stunning. Hmmmm, two kids under five and some pretty nasty winters here in IN. I guess it'll have to be black.
