That is good to know. I have had Coral Red, and now Black. I think I will check out Ivory next time. Very rare to see that spec.

Ivory white is simply breathtakingly beautiful. My F90 M5C has the Silverstone Leather. Quite a pain to keep clean but looks really beautiful when new though.

Looks spectacular but the practicality is another story. A single dirt on the interior is gonna drive crazy … great for photo shot, but not for me as a daily.

This, now this looks decent. The strip that ran through the middle of the back and at the bottom of the seat, to me, looked like an afterthought.

Monochrome, is much, much, much better!

Oh yes please. That would be my choice. I have Silverstone in my 2018 M3 CS and wear jeans all the time. I've yet to have to clean them. Don't know what you guys are talking about as far as hard to keep clean.

Having the same color in two 5-series i a row now. It's a great color, just makes the car so much more enjoyable when in it, not so dark.
It's not hard to keep clean and even ok with kids.

Definitely looks like a frozen paint finish. Owner must pay someone to detail it inside and out.

I'm a bit more partial to silverstone for the G8x myself, but have the ivory/night blue combo in my X7 and it's been great. Over 2 years and only did a deep clean twice (after winter) with 5 of us in the car all the time. Dirt and grime is easy to take care of, I spend more time keeping the black on my F92 from showing any oily/worn spots.

I have full Merino Ivory on my G05, and so far (1.5 years in) it's been great. Given, I get weekly washes and keep it pretty clean by avoiding getting in with wet or dirty clothes. I've come to find the best product to keeping the Merino fresh and clean are Sonax Leather wipes. They come in a handy rounded box that fits in my door pocket. I give them the once over every few weeks, and it cleans and conditions the leather. I do it at the end of the day when I get home, and by the next morning, it's all soaked in and supple and clean.

It takes more maintenance, but boy is the effort worth it.
