Merino Leather
Anyone have experience with the merino leather option. It seems soft and comfortable but I wonder about maintenance and durability.
Thanks. Duke

I have the smoke white Merino leather and as mentioned really soft leather.
I'm about a year old with 12500miles wear and still looks good as new. I did however have leather protection applied when I first had the car detailed so would recommend this to prolong its life. Every month I apply leather cleaner to keep it at its best which has also helped. This is the first time I have ever had Merino leather in a car and would not hesitate specifying again in future or recommending it to future buyers. It does feel luxurious and adds to the quality interior of the car I also went for the Merino leather door cards and dash board which finishes off the interior - photo attached.

Thank you - not everyone's cup of tea especially those with young families!
I'm in construction and regularly on site, so have to be careful not to bring the dirt into the car

Hows the M-performance mats with dirt? Are they more like regular floor mats or more like all- weather mats. I know they are made from different material.. ?! |

Sorry if I didn't make myself clear. Am talking about M-Performance ones in your picture above, they are kinda grey color? I have the all-weather ones and they are basically plastic. They work well but don't feel as luxurious are carpet. I thought maybe the M-performance will work best!

Yes I'm referring to the OEM M-Performance all weather mats that I use in the winter and not the rubber mats. They are not cheap but are hard wearing in all conditions. When wiped they leave no marks or dirt as new!

Thanks for your reply. Incredible interior. I'm looking at the taupe merino, mainly because it's a bit darker.
What was used for leather protections? Thanks. Duke

I also have 2015 3.0D M Sport, Carbon Black with Smoke White Merino Comfort seats and matching door/side panels, same as X5M50D.
Have had the car since June 2017 and it has covered 25K now. We don't have young children but do have grandchildren , however have had absolutely no issues with the colour but my wife does wear blue denim jeans from time to time and leaves some light blue marking on the edges, but not stains. I too had treatment done as part of the deal and the cream supplied with the maintenance pack is excellent at removing the marking. Have only had to wipe off couple of times since we purchased the car and only takes a few minutes. The merino leather and Comfort seats are superb, we drive 300 miles to family in Dorset several times a year and arrive as fresh as when we started, usually completing the journey in one straight drive, superb car, consider it the best we have had ;-)). |
