I like cloth/leather or alcantara better in sports car. The seats are grippier when cornering and hard braking and they stay cooler in the summer here in SoCal and they don't get as cold in winters. As many of you have read, I like function as much as form. Leather is nice on girls and couches but not really a fan in sports cars. So my top choice is the cloth/leather option. My 330i ZHP has Alcantara Cloth and I love it. However when I was shopping the E90 with speed-cloth in 2011 I found it abrasive and actually considered getting the leather over the speed cloth even though I really preferred cloth. I really am wondering how the new cloth looks and feels. I love the Alcantara interior offered in the M235i in Europe and I have only seen configuration pics of the M3 cloth seats.

If you are performance minded like me and also prefer cloth over leather and have seen and felt the cloth seats can you give me your feedback?

Thank you.
