Honestly, some of you guys sound like real snobs whose arses have seen nothing worse than leather.... Guys come back to reality: here on this side of the pond, the cheapest 5 series is as expensive as a m5 in your part of the world, and guys - for that price you get fabric seats!!!

+1
Not forgetting that leather is a $2400 USD option (or $3600 for Nappa)!!
So fabric makes financial sense too.

I have to say that the leather/cloth combination doesnt't look TOO bad, as long as you have sport seats 
My E60 has 60.000 miles and the leather on the driver's seat (the seat cushion) is getting a bit rippled, but maybe it's because of my weight 
So a leather/cloth trim may prevent that As well as sweating, if the car has been in the sun a long time. Because of the cost, if I were to order my car new, I'd also go for cloth/leather, but because I got it used, so the happy 1st owner spent his money on leather and confort seats......

Don't you guys laugh at me now, but I wanted fabric for my ass, no sweat you see...
Full leather seats would not had costed that much more.
All fabric is standard in EU.
My cars retail over here is about $100,000.

Looks good but do certain "fluids" I will call them, clean off of the seats easily. Never know when a moment of passion might hit and I wouldn't want the interior looking worse for it.

You do wash your clothes also, not only your leather ones, don't you?
