Oyster has a unique look, but needing to clean it (monthly/after every jeans-stain, etc.) would get real old for me.
I cleaned mine yesterday, took all of 20 minutes using Leatherette. Last time I cleaned them like this was several 3-4 months ago. My X3 is over 5 years old with light tan interior. The seats still look new. The oyster looks awesome with Estoril IMO. No big deal keeping them looking this way.
