LE beige interior. Does it get dirty?

I think I'm going in for this S550 tomorrow. My wife got me worried that the beige which is more like white gets dirty. Any last minute thoughts for me?

This creates the worse problem of my white, light beige pants getting dirty. I'm being serious here and I only find humor!

My wife has a CLK with a beige interior. It definately shows dirt more than black. It's not so much of a problem on the seats or dash, but you really notice it on the floormats and carpet.

Depends on urself, u gotta be honest withurself, if u r a clean or messy person around house, then thats how ur car going to look like.
I just bought a 01' C with beige interior, spotless, looks 10 times better then my 03' E's black interior.
To me it also gives that elegent persona look, which mercedes is all about.
Black is my thing, but i have realized it overtime, i only want black exteriors not interiors. But then again, beauty is in the eye of beholder.

The best interior is the one with light cream seats and black carpet, with piano black trim. Not sure what it's called I believe it's a special edition.

I'll pick it up tomorrow with the black carpet and trim. Even if the seats darken a little it will give it character. Besides it's only 39 months.

my BMW had a color called "natural brown" and it would discolor from my pants very easily... every 2 months or so I would just wipe Z9 and Z10 leather treatment on the surface and it looked good as new.

I got the LE just be careful. I wear jeans, slacks, all that, with no issues. But I am also supercareful. I also got the Benz detailing kit as a gift. It works great. I highly recommend it.
