 Question: Leatherette or cloth?



Hi everyone,

I am going to place an order for a new E90. I would like to know your opinions about which one is better, leatherette or cloth? I cannot afford leather. I heard that leatherette gets hot and it is plastic so the feeling that you sit on plastic is not good. But does cloth look bad?

Cloth is not an option, except maybe as an expensive special order.

Leatherette may not be as bad as you think. I have had both. My current car is leatherette and I would definitely order it again. Yes, leather is softer but it is a maintenance issue and it wears. BMW seats are notorious for "scuffing" on the seat bolster. I used to treat my leather several times a year. I live in a warm climate and the heat has never really been an issue with the leatherette.

It is not an option in USA but it is available in Europe. I would definitely get leatherette over cloth.

Cloth if it were an option in the US would be my choice.

I have cloth in my 320d, it is far easier to keep it clean than leather. And it won't wear like leather.
