If anyone has taken delivery of their E90 with a lemon interior; I would be very interested to know what your thoughts on the maintenance of the lemon interior will be. My thought (and I think most peoples) are that it looks great.
BUT we would now like to know what you think a few weeks into your purchase. Is it way too delicate?, okay?, and have you had any marks? Any regrets? Are you getting too pre-occupied looking after the interior? etc etc
Also, could you please advise if the colour of the Lemon is actually what is shown in the small swatch in the small 3 Series brochure that is available at dealers or is it lighter or darker.
Thanks - your thoughts are appreciated - it will help in the decisio making process for my interior (down to Black or Lemon)

I've had mine for 3 weeks or so now and the seats are showing no signs of excessive dirt build up though it is usually only me in the car. A quick wipe with a clean damp synthetic chamois is all I've used thus far for any marks and this has taken them off easily. It is a great interior and has drawn a lot of favourable comments.
As for the colour I'd say it is a touch lighter than the printed sample in the brochure. You'd be better advised to ask your dealer for their actual material colour swatch sample but I would caution that although this is colour accurate it doesn't always give a good impression of how the colour will look in the car. For example I saw a swatch of Tera and held it against the auburn leather in my last car - E60 5 series - and it looked much darker. I wasn't too keen on it after this so went with lemon. However now that I have seen Tera inside a physical car, I think it looks great and better than my auburn did. I'm glad I went with Lemon though as it makes a nice change.

ISUK,
thanks for the feedback - very helpful. I think that I will have to just chill if I order this color - although we all get a little touchy initially 
But in terms of the Lemon - is it as white as what is shown on some internet pictures or can you definately see the sand/lemon color of the swatch?
for example if you look at :

it nearly looks white - is it actually as light as this?
Regards

You can definately tell the subtle tint to the leather. As I said earlier it is better to think of the colour as being vanilla. The dealers material swatches are 100% accurate.

I went to the 3 series preview tonight and they had a 330 in black with the Lemon interior.It almost had the look of an individual interior,very rich looking.It also contrasts nicely with the black trim in the car.
