FYI I did have my leather sealed but wife did not on her car.

IMO looks great with the blue/black of Carbon Black and can recommend.

I am absolutely happy to be corrected. This is awesome . I only was giving him information that I had come across over time from fellow members that had or mentioned the Ivory seats with jeans. Better to inform him of the "chance" that it could happen and let him take precautions if his jeans didn't play as nicely as yours .

Absolutely nothing with black . Black makes everything flow on the Luxury line. My only issue with the Luxury line on silver or white is that the arches are different color and interrupt the flow of the body line plastic bumper if that makes sense. He was considering the Luxury line in Glacier Silver, so that's why I made that comment. My apologies for being broad .

Also, glad everyone's lighter colors are holding up well with their jeans and that it's not difficult to clean. Great pics everyone!

Thanks! Looks pretty brand new still. I have beige in one of my other cars so it looks like the ivory white will just wear/tear like the beige.

BTW, do you have a picture of the "drivers seat" to see what it looks like, your passenger & rear seats look awesome!

@750IXIndividualGuy Thanks for the feedback

Will take some when it stops raining...hopefully sometime this year!

I had the Oyster(white) Dakota leather on my 11 X3. It did require a little more maintenance than other leathers. Just wiped it down with Lexol cleaner and conditioner once a month or so and the seats looked just like new when I sold it this month. The white and black is a stunning interior color combo.

Ordering Black Sapphire with X-line on Monday. Black looked more sporty and seemed to be for younger age group while Silver looked more classy for older age group.

Sorry I could not convince you to go with the Luxury Line like mine (see the picture above). It really does look awesome with the body color around the wheel wells and the running boards. High gloss black roof rails add to the sportiness. Xline looks good as well. You'll love the black sapphire and the wheels. Congratsvv

I love the way your car looks...especially the gloss black roof rails...however the matte finish of the X-line won me over haha

I have the ivory design package. Loved it when new but seriously such a pain. every singe thing shows. The arm rest should have been the gray leather that's on the dash so it would have been a bit more resistant to discoloring.... it is gorgeous when clean though. and the ambient lighting looks amazing on it at night!

Had it on E90 and it looks very nice, but it is a pain to keep it clean.
Problem is the passenger. I know what things stain, so I take extra care when I wear something that can stain but passengers don't know so they tend to make a mess.
Worst nightmare is when you see a girl in dark stained skinny jean coming into your car. Yes, Lexor works but it is just annoying to clean them every so often.

@750IXIndividualGuy Apologies for the delay; finally a sunny day in England!
Washed the car(s) and took a couple of shots for you.
Enjoy
