Seats aren't that bad to keep clean but the wheels are the culprit. Its takes far too long to really get them clean. As for the black car, well best advice is this old saying,... one mans meat is another mans poison. I suppose its a preference thing in the end. For me, I am not a huge fan of black cars BUT... for the E60, it carries Black well. Every car has a nice colour that bring out the best look. The platinum grey, I like too. White is great but it needs some blackish bits on it, either via the CF front lips and CF rear aprons. Then it would really look smart with the Msport kit.
thats my worthless 0.02c.
cheers

Glad you guys like it.
OMO, its a lot "sharper" than the standard beige interior. The black exterior with the mostly black interior with light yellow seats is good. The interior is just right, not too much black or the yellow leather. I like it. When every I wash the car, a quick wipe down with a damn cloth keeps the seats clean. Plan to apply some leather care oils soon.
cheers
