Hows the cloth holding up

Hi all, I'm currently shopping for a White M3 6MT with cloth interior. Anyone have any issues with wear?

strange question but understandable, one of the pros of cloth is it doesn't show wear like leather

To add to the above, the leather that does exist in the cloth seat option isn't as delicate as the full leather seats either. It's a rougher leather that may not look as appealing initially, but wears much better over time.

40k miles and the leather on the sides has more wear than the cloth, super easy to get clean even with spilled makeup stuff. (not mine...) highly recommend

Thank you all. Im really leaning towards the cloth and I didn't think about the leather on the sides being different. Thanks for the heads up.

I have 80k+ miles on mine, and they look great. They don't show age at all. I always let people guess the mileage of my car based on my interior, and I always get "20k 30k?" when people answer. I wouldn't want leather after owning speed cloth. The only thing I would complain about is that sometimes I slide in the seat a bit when driving hard. If I was to do a track day, I might have to throw a bucket in cause I would slide all over the interior.
