Waiting on my AW w/ Opal White Extended to arrive!!!

Colinv6 · 01-22-2016, 04:08 PM

7 months into Silverstone interior I have slight regrets, it looks absolutely amazing but keeping it pristine is so hard work.

I spend most journeys with a towel on the front seats and have had some blue dye marks which refuse to come off completely with any product...

I'd say with these light interiors, the more you care for your car, the more you end up hating them. If you adopt the carefree "meh it's a lease" attitude then great. I love to keep things as new and boy is it extra work!

BMW needs a darker grey leather, something between SS and black interior.

You might need to carry a couple of pairs of sweat pants with you in the car so people can slip them on before getting into your car with jeans. Serious.

Sounds fun

In terms of taking care of it, it definitely isn't easy. But if you guys are as neurotic with your M as I am, which you guys probably are haha, then it won't be that mad. Wiping it down with a wet microfiber cloth once every week or two gets the superficial dust off. I ended up getting the leather masters cleaner, barrier, and sealer so I'll update everyone how that goes soon enough.

You won't be disappointed with the color, I've gotten plenty of compliments on the white on white combo. Just don't get white rims and you'll be fine

Do you have a M3 or M4????

Any pics of the interior from the outside?

I'd never get the white leather, although it is absolutely gorgeous.

OT -- your F15 is freaking gorgeous Alan

I love my Silverstone leather, and I spend most of my journey's sitting on a shirt. Fortunately, I haven't had any issues with blue jean dye. My interior still looks pristine.

P.S. BMW used to have a grey that was darker than SS (..and had a slight blue tint to it): Palladium Silver. I had it in two of three E9X M3's. Loved the color.
