Unfortunately this is a common problem with leather seats.
For what ever reason BMWs seem especially prone to this.

A good leather cleaner should be able to remove the dye tranfer.

This happens to any light colored leather or leatherette chair or seat. My Kizashi seats are grey cloth, but the very chair I am sitting on at my desk is a white leatherette chair. It's stained blue from my blue jeans, especially from when they were new.
Many dark colored jeans come with warning tags about color transfer. This is what they are talking about.

All my cars had leather interior cars since 1969 and I learned long ago to wash my jeans before wearing them especially when you drive a car with (light) leather interiors.

Use "Leatherique" products on your seats, the Rejuvinator and Cleaner are great stuff and will keep your leather seats looking new and clean. I use it on my BMW once every 3-6 months, it's awesome stuff :)

BM-P You took the words right out of my mouth. I was going to recommend Leatherique's rejuvenator and pristine clean which I think is the best leather care product on the market.
Here is their webpage. Check it out.
