Hard/soft leather??

jayely1 · 05-07-2009, 12:28 AM

Which is better? My friend gave me a ride in his dads new Genesis Sedan V8 and the leather is sooo soft its amazing!!! I didn't know if that was a good thing or bad?? Is the soft less durable? Thanks for the help

I guess the answer depends on whether you prefer hard or soft leather.

Soft leather will wear faster, but it is 1000x more comfortable. When my 1er needs new leather (assuming I keep it that long), I am going to replace it with leather like lexus uses....

i mean its leather...

not really, all automotive-grade leather have been treated to withstand regular wear and tear

yeaah it was! It felt amazing to be honest..So theres no flaws with the thinner soft leather? Well it felt thinner the the Bmw's.

Comparing my 335 with the E9x M3 leather, it's a world difference. I like the "feel" of the M3 leather, but prefer the "look" of the 335 leather.

The M has got some nice soft leather, but for some reason IMHO it looks cheap on the door panels because it's slightly loose. No offense to M owners.

My $0.02

Soft leather is so much better. Except maybe for a motorcycle jacket, there I think you kind of want it stiffer.

jayely1 · 05-07-2009, 06:00 PM

So is the quality the same then?? If they are I would DEFINITELY prefer soft.

Androo000 · 05-07-2009, 08:59 PM

it depends on the style of the whip actually. And also depends on your dominatrix.

jayely1 · 05-08-2009, 02:30 AM

So no one really knows it sounds like lol
