Well, First, I'm single and don't have kids spilling stuff. Second, on the rare occasions things DO happen, the dark gray / black fabric color hides just about everything. Third, if you HAVE to remove stains, auto-fabric cleaning solvent works on a lot of different stains and is usually color-safe. You can also, in most cases, use dry-cleaning fluid...the same stuff they use where the Lexus salespeople take you....the cleaners.


(If you do use solvent, wipe the area down afterward with a damp or wet cloth and let dry to prevent lingering solvent odors, which can be quite strong and maybe give you headaches)

Wow, how much do you think the price difference is between cloth seats and just plain leather?

The leather itself is pennies more than cloth - the thing is that the leather seats come with power features and other add ons that drive up the option cost. Just as a reference, leather only option (you usually can't get it seperate from the typical Premium package) on a 3 series is less than 1K.

personally i prefer the leather/escaine to the both the clotha nd full leather. The escaine just feels so nice on my bootay and is easier to maintain IMO.
