Platinum Leather interior --anybody have it?
Is this color similar to cream? Or if you have it or seen it, can someone describe it better? I'm thinking it's warmer in tone than something like silverstone.

Cream is a good way of describing it. In fact it is almost identical to Porsche Exclusive Cream leather. It is noticeably warmer than Silverstone or Opal White for that matter. It is a lighter than Ivory though. Ivory has a bit of a beige tone which Platinum does not have.

[QUOTE=stealth.pilot;21185407]I had the Platinum interior on my 2013 M5. I really liked the interior. It was full leather with Alcantara headliner. People who got the opportunity to ride in my car would be surprised and say things like: "I thought you only get this kind of leather in a Bentley or Rolls Royce".

Was thinking the look may be on the femme side but I believe with the right exterior, this interior can really make the whole car complete and certainly unique. |

Potentially frozen silver, azurite black or another black. There's a used one in CA that I'm considering but not sure yet. It's winter here in the north so I'm kinda screwin around with combos. Outside of regular color paints, there are slim pickings on unique paint currently but I can wait. No reason to rush.

With Frozen Silver, it would look good but I don't think it is the best choice. I think the best choices with Frozen Silver would be Fiona Red, Opal White or Amaro Brown.

I would avoid driving it with any clothes that will transfer color like jeans, it picks up color pretty easily. |

That's what I have always been worried about and the main reason I always avoided this kind of color since I wear jeans most of the time...

What did you pay for that? I skipped it because they were quoting $5800 for the stitching.

So when the car arrived in Taiwan and I saw that the stitching didn't extend to the door panel, it was too late to do anything about it. My sales was surprised at how the stitching turned out too, so I couldn't really blame him. As for price, since Taiwan has a huge premium due to taxes and different margins (Taiwan has only one BMW distributor and have stiff pricing) so I'm not sure the price here is an accurate reflection of what you might have gotten quoted in the US. Full leather option is $18,000, and contrast stitching for dash was $2700. I don't know how much the door panel contrast stitching cost since it was no use to me, the car was already in Taiwan, so I didn't ask. |

This could be problematic since jeans are my go to's? Maybe leather cleaners and protectants can take on the challenges? Great look with the contrasting though. I'm sure silverstone leather has the same struggles......

It's spectacular to look at though. Maybe consider wear khakis more often. |

I use Leather Lock on my Porsche http://www.drbeasleys.com/leather-lock.html I used to use this product on my M5 which also seemed to be effective. https://www.amazon.com/Leather-Maste.../dp/B0079JDPNE This one is pretty good too. I've never used it but I may try it on my white leather sofas at home after I get them cleaned next time. https://www.amazon.com/Leather-Maste...her+master+ink

Yes. Should've kept it but obviously didn't. Now have the lunar rocket with black interior.... platinum was in a car that was under serious consideration. Just didn't pull the trigger on that one.
