I would say the biggest deal is not getting it dirty in the first place. It is a delicate material. You want to make sure your hands are always clean and oil free. Alcantara can get worn down (loose its soft/fuzzy texture) very quickly and can also pill up. I always wash my hands before I drive my M3 and I keep a small travel-size bottle of Purell hand sanitizer in the center console just incase (the alcohol in Purell gets rid of any oils).

I don't want to overly concern you, but if you are a perfectionist Alcantara can be pretty annoying, especially for a daily driver.
