Does saddle brown easily get stained ?

ducatiboy72 · 08-19-2012, 03:32 PM

Hi!

I'm thinking about ordering saddle brown leather seats, but I'm a bit worried they might easily get stains from dark jeans?

Anyone got any experience with this?

I have saddle brown on a 2007 E93 and it hides any dirt and does not stain from jeans.

I had saddle brown for 3 years, no real issues, but with most lighter colours it does requires some elbow grease.

I've had saddle brown for almost 4 years now, and it looks the same as it does when I got the car! It wears really wel. I wear jeans probably 90% of the time.

Great to hear, coming from my current 2008 335xi with no maintenance leatherette to my leather saddle brown 335xi coming in October I was a little concerned.....

Just don't take corners too fast, and the seats will be fine.

No staining except from the tears of those who passed on Saddle, it's all good.

I like the saddle and just wish it was available with the M sport and EBII.

Why is it that people don't ask these questions about the terrible Beige? It seems like people are always looking for an excuse to NOT buy the good interior colors.

A big source of stains is body sweat - beige seems to darken quickly when wearing no shirt, singlets or shorts. I wouldn't go anything but black - same goes with the dash, since so many women like having their feet on the dash as a foot rest black is the answer

Black doesn't show dirt but it ages more rapidly than any other color. Shows ugly white cracks prematurely too. if you must go Black in a BMW, get the leatherette.
