Red interior - Does it hold up well over time?
So today I was at the LA auto show to check out the new BMW's and I noticed an X4 M40i with the individual Fiona Red/Black Extended Merino Leather. When I opened the door I noticed that the dye from people's jeans had bled onto the seats. I guess what I want to know, is red leather easy to clean and does it hold up well over time?

I had the red leather interior on my F33, and after 3 years of use, never had any issues.

Dakota leather holds up really well in my experience. A lot of people knock it but thick pebble grain leather like Dakota lasts a long time. Now those fancy smooth glove-like leathers that everyone thinks are an upgrade on M3, Lexus, etc. are a different story.

I had Sakhir Orange for 14,000 miles and zero marks. Red is fine, not nearly in the same category as silver stone and whites.
It's a cool choice and whenever it's a 'free' choice I'll be going red.
