Last chance to alter M5 options, need help pls! Full leather option and color?

[lumberman]

Options deadline coming up and still struggling, the exterior color is dead fixed to Black Shapire, but the interior need some suggestions or feedback from you dear members.

1. Full leather option?
As seen on the interior threads, how many pieces will be leather with this option? Dashboard, the four windows side arm-rest, back of the front seats, and what else? And to you who ordered full leather, does it really make a difference? worth the money?

2. Upholstery colour
Exterior colour is Met Black, existing option is "Fine grain Merino leather, extended LKSW Black" but afraid it would be too dark inside the car. Does anyone has a picture of Upholstery colour "BMW individual fine-grain Merino leather, extended ZAP8 Graphite" hoping this colour would add some contrast instead of everything black.

Your feedback is deeply appriciated!

Thanks

All the seats, from and back, and all of the doors, and the dash and the part around the gearstick, are all leather. Yes it does make a difference - the extra leather is fantastic and really gives it an upmarket feel.

Can't help you on the colour. Sorry

I recommend to take the premium leather coverage (dashboard, rear doors, map holders, rear of front seats, dashboard stitches etc) option only if you're getting a catchy interior. Black leather color for the interior would look almost the same as a regular option.

i have full black leather inside on an azurite car (so black basically). Its all black and is fantastic and not too dark. full leather is a must. It is pure luxury inside. I think any other leather option feels a bit too cheap for this car.

thanks for the feedback guys, now I pretty much know what I want

1. Black
2. Black (full leather)
3. Sakhir Orange (full leather)

Black leather doesn't seem as worth it to get extended full leather with. The lighter color leathers highlight the extended pieces better. You have an option of not getting black leather but another color instead?

This is the main reason i didnt get Full leather, since my interior is all black, It didnt seem worth it to spend 2k+ EUR to get leather on the dashboard, when I dont even notice the difference

If you get any other color other than black, then it might be wort it.

You are right, that's why I want the upholsy colour to be graphite to make some contrast, but according to the cataloge, if I choose graphite then I can't get full leather...

Totally agree. full leather should be in a color other than black because it's not really visible in black at all. The lighter colors look better with full leather, although you'll miss the alcantara headliner which no matter what color you have is totally bad ass

I agree it's more than just visual, it's tactile, as far as colour it's a personal choice, I ordered a MCB with Full Merino Black Leather interior.

I believe Graphite is an Individual color and therefore would automatically be full leather.....


I would suggest Platinum or Champagne if you are going to go with a Metallic Black exterior.....

Full leather option is a must for me... just my 2 cents

good feeback guys, thank you

decided to go full black leather, even though it might not make much difference visually, but I don't want to kick myself for not ordering it
