Silverstone Leather Opinions

My 2016 had Mugello Red Leather and I loved it. Went to the LA Auto Show and fell in love with Tanzanite Blue and the Silverstone Leather. I gotta say, I LOVE the way it looks but I think that about 90 days into it, the leather won't look as pristine and I'll regret the choice. Oddly, the Mugello Red held up perfectly the entire 36 month lease. Now that I looking at getting the 2020, I am thinking to skip the Red (Sakhir Orange) and go with something different.

I know BMW has offered Silverstone in other cars for a while...anyone out there have feedback on its durability and whether it's as hard to keep clean as I think?

Thanks...

My F85 with mugello red is my all time favorite car. I thought I would try the Sakhir, but like you love the contrast of silverstone and the blue. My wife has ivory leather in her X7. Only had it 6 months, but it looks fantastic still. I wipe the seats down every few weeks with leather cleaner and the faint blue from jeans comes right off. I think I'm going to go with the blue/silverstone. Try something different!! I still miss my F85....

Our current X5M is LBB with silverstone. Not hard to keep clean, but it is more of a pretty combination than sporty in my opinion. Our order will be carbon black with sakhir.

2013 full individual silverstone, 130tkm, this was in the summer.
Love it how stays "cool" in the sun comparing to darker leather.
That looks spotless! Thanks...
I guess it'll be easier than I thought to maintain..

I have Mugello Red in my F85 and I'm going with the Silverstone (with Marina Bay Blue exterior) on my F95.

I love the Mugello Red, but I'm not sure what the Sakhir Orange will look, especially with the MBB.

I like it. But my OCD side of me won’t like it.

Well, that makes three of us. I’ve gone back and forth on choice of leather, but ultimately I like the SS too much to pass it up (the only other choice I was considering with MBB is full black). But I’ve had black interiors in my last 4 cars and while they’ve aged well, I just need a change.

SS will require more maintenance for sure, but I’m likely to go full OCD on them anyway regardless of color...might as well get what I like most.
