BMW Oyster leather care

As I hear, Oyster leather stains quickly and should be maintained regularly with leather care products.

So, what is the best product to do it? Do I need leather cleaner and/or conditioner? What is the difference between those two?
All advices are welcome, as you can see, I don't know jack about cleaning and preserving leather

Then I would suggest not getting that interior. Do you really want the hassle and aggravation?

My 335i has cream beige interior
It's very light
After having this car for over 3 years and small child who rides regularely I can say i'm happy i went with my color choice without worrying about it being stained
I never conditioned it and never treated it with anything
Just a simple wiping once in every few carwashes it it looks as good as new
I wouldnt worry too much

BTW, Oyster would be my color of choice on X6
I hope i'll find it with this interior when purchase time comes

No, but I want the nice looks of that interior so I intend to preserve it anyway possible.

Also, it's now too late for any changes, the car has arrived to the customs.

I highly recommend Zymol's range of leather cleaner and leather conditioner and my second choice would be Adams polishes leather care products

I have the Oyster and just have 700+ miles on my X5 and the driver's seat is showing some blue from my jeans. I am searching for the best cleaner / preserver, too.

I have ordered Leather Master's cleaning kit, hopefully it will do the job. Although, they do have Jeans Dye Removal kit as well, it might be more suitable for you.
