Anyone here have them? I'm trying to see real time pics vs build pics from website! I'm concerned they will get dirty a lot faster with transfer dye

The answer is yes the ivory leather interior will require more cleaning and due to light color is more susceptible to noticeable dye transfer. Don't sit on your ivory leather with new denim before washing it a couple times. I also suggest either not wearing a leather belt or keep your shirt outside pants to be a barrier between belt and leather seats.

But they are beautiful! I really wanted them but chickened out and got the Mocha Nappa instead.

I have the nappa ivory- just know it's more of a cream than the stark white it may appear as on the website configurator.

I wouldn't say it has a beige look. As Ronron said it's more light cream than white. You almost have to see it in person. It wouldn't hurt to try and see the Ivory in person in any model at a dealership.

Dealer literally has all dark interiors for some reason. Only ones had ivory was few x5M but I think it's called something else lol.

I think I'll just get mocha

Here is Ivory Nappa in a 2017 540 with luxury seats and grey poplar trim.

I’ve got the white nappa leather upholstery in my 530e. I would say the color is...ivory. I preferred the lighter color because I live in a sunny, hot climate, so I thought they might not get so hot as the darker colored interior.

Everything said so far about keeping them clean is true. Dye transfer from new jeans, etc. But let’s face it: keeping the seats clean is just part of taking care of the car, and really doesn’t require too much effort. But the seats are beautiful, and the car itself is dark, so when I walk from the house into a dark garage in the morning, the little amount of light results in the seats glowing, but the car remains dark. It’s kind of cool looking.

Has anyone tried to get a ceramic type coating for the interior with this color leather?

Ask the dealer about its used car inventory. It might have an ivory car in that inventory and, if so, it will give you a good idea not only of the color but how well it wears.

I never asked but I remember that my dealership had a wall with trim samples. They probably have samples in the showroom of the various leather choices as well but I don't really know.

Black leather is so popular but...IMHO...so boring.

I like this color a lot but I would be too OCD with the color transfer etc...especially because I wear jeans every day for work, it would be a a dark denim interior (at least on driver side) after about a year haha

I'm not sure why, but we haven't had any dye transfer on the Ivory leather in our G30. Same with the tan leather in the X3. I wear jeans virtually all of the time but except for a couple of pairs they usually are pre-washed.

[LuvMyE92]

I always try to get the light interior color, and my G30 has the ivory but in the lowly Dakota leather version. It's Napa for me, next time.

In all that time, the only time I've ever had a die transfer was some stupid cheap black belt that transferred to the seat in a grey interior E39. I couldn't get it out (although I'm sure a professional would have more options or re-died it) but it looked more like a dirt smudge than a real stain. Never issues with jeans.

I decided to just go with black nappa... Really wanted cognac but not available unless i do mocha nappa

[oilandgas]

I've had ivory white for 15 mos (& 15k miles) now on my 2020 M550 and love it. It still looks brand new.

To me, the whole point to getting the Nappa leather is the feel; putting a coating on it would change that.

I would not do it but opinions vary and everyone has one.

[jjscsix]

I had Ivory. Almost four years and 35,000 miles it still looks good but you can tell it looks a little dirty. It does not jump out at you, but if you are picky you can see it. I would not hesitate to get it again though.

I just traded it last week for a Genesis G70 Sport. I swore I’d never get another black interior, but.... Oooops, I’m not set up to post pics to this ancient forum program. It’s Black Quilted Nappa with grey stitching
