Who got Red Pepper?

How's it holding up?
How quickly does it stain from your jeans?
How easy has it been to keep clean and red?
How do you clean ot, and how often?

Love the look, but would regret it if I ordered it and it stained bad.

Just got mine, so too soon to say. I had a e46 M3 and the entire thing was this red color. I never had any issues with jeans staining it. I think the white is a different story though.

Not quite 3 months but it looks great and I love it. About 4k miles on it.

I have red pepper and it's been about 3 months and 2100 miles. It looks great with no stains. I haven't had to clean it yet.

I get more compliments on the red pepper interior than I do with the rest of the car.

No. As in jeans bleed on lighter color leather leaving a blue stain.

Curious how it looks in person – I've seen photos where it's looked pretty dark, and then others where it looks like a brighter red…?

Only part staining is the red ring on the steering wheel at 12 o'clock. That's got black edges and the ridges tarnished pretty fast too also turning black. At 2300 miles now and 3 months in.

I've only got 1200 but it's holding up well. Took a long trip with a full car and no ones jeans bled. I am extremely happy with the color. I would pick it over and over.
For peace of mind I also paid 1400$ for the additional protection for 5 years at my dealership. Covers any interior damage. I will most likely keep the car for a while tho.

you guys are talking about the red pepper, I've got the platin white and its still holding up so my assumption is that red pepper would hold up as good if not better
