Cloth or leather?

Yas Marina would be my choice. No problems living with that on my end. Sakhir is OK, but I hate the way it dulls up out of the sun.

Yas is a bit too much. My wife and I saw it in person.

Well, I guess I'll just follow my gut and go with cloth.

I see it regularly in person. It's one of the best street car colors I've seen around.

I think it will age well, if LSB is any indication. I personally like it a lot, but I like Sakhir, too. Don't think you can go wrong either way.

EDIT: Just looked up Tanzanite and Azurite. Both are nice; they sort of evoke Carbon Black, which was always my favorite E46 M3 color (particularly with cinnamon interior). But I don't think I'd pay more for those than YMB or SO.

We have the Nappa leather package (with leather dash) on the X5, and it really upgrades the look.

I would never have cloth seats with kids. Too absorbent...

But shampoo-able. I've seen plenty of leather seats destroyed by kids (food/dirt/scratches).
