Definitely no jeans for the white leather. I will ask them to take them off if anyone needs a ride with jeans.

In all seriousness, you can get the leather coated from stains. I know a few M3 friends with the leather interior who did it and never had stains.
Thanks a bunch. This is my first car/suv that has white leather so I am a little paranoid.

Sorry OP for thread jacking.

I used to have this issue on my m5. I got my wife to stop using tanner or tinted make-up. Problem solved. It also helped in the house too since we have white sofas, white leather dining chairs, etc. My wife likes white too so key is to make her realize you have a shared interest in discontinuing the tanner.

Perhaps buy her a white chanel handbag and then suggest she ditch the tanner since it is messing up the handbag and the seats.

I had a chance to see the new one on the lot the other day. For once, I find a older design more appealing. The new shape of the grill is too "Hyunadaish" and the fake exhaust design element is a flop, IMO, on a performance oriented vehicle.
