    I hate leather, as well. I've never seen what all the fuss is about.

      There is no black cloth interior. Black or bust.

          hot in the summer, cold in the winter.. Leather seats don't really make sense. Darkest tint legally possible, windshield sun visor, cracked windows and I leave my seat leaned forward everytime I get out of my car.

            Cloth ftw.

            Leather seats are easier to clean though, and if they are heated they are ok in winter :)

              Cloth shows its age way more, wears out faster, and is harder to clean. Leather has its drawbacks too but... i guess it just depends how long you plan to own the car.

                I like my vinyl, I don't know why, probably because I've had nothing but vinyl seats in my cars. I'll pass on leather, unless they are brand spanking new seats.

                  Put Huper Optik tint on all the windows and your heat/UV issues go away.

                  I have all 7 windows in my Audi Avant done and I have leather seats and a metal shift knob. Parked it in the open sun for a few hours in LA, opened the door and just sat in the seats and put my hand on the knob without fear of melting my skin off. That tint really does block that much heat from entering the car.

                  I plan to do the same with the e30 when I have time.

                    I have leather bolsters and cloth centers on my Sports.

                    Black interiors FTW.

                      Leather has the longevity factor covered, and cloth is good for enthusiastic drivers who need to stay stuck in the seat.

                      Vinyl kicks both for ease of care.

                      I'm planning to buy Kevin's seat covers that are vinyl suede and get the best of two worlds.

                        I think the black mtechs are the best. (leather sides w/ cloth centers) Leatherettes look great for a longer amount of time but the leather feels nice.

                              i could have gone either way but choose leather seating surfaces and vinyl sides (oem setup). I couldnt be happier.
