That EL option makes a massive improvement! Actually looks like it's a BMW now. Shame they didn't finish off the dash top and lower section as they are the only 2 spots of this ridiculously cheap looking and feeling rubber stuff that's left. If I had some spare $$$ floating around I'd seriously considering covering a good amount of my interior in some nice leather. Makes the car look 10x more expensive.

Best write-up I've seen on Extended Leather. Makes me wish I hadn't gone with the 'Extended Synthetic Polymer' option.

Is the center console storage door also covered in leather as well? I'm really wishing I had gone with extended leather. I'm actually thinking about buying the parts and retrofitting them.

That door and the section directly above it are the only 2 parts besides the actual dashboard that isn't covered in leather, and the retrofit parts are stupidly expensive, I think just the roll hoops are $1500

I got the leather also, except the roll over hops are without it.

You are correct, the sunvisors have no leather , the roll over protection has none an dthe doors have leather only in the middle. Above that is is leather rette ? they cal lit. The center console has that carbon fiber thing and so is the dash. I will take pictures of it when it has stopped raining here. The steering wheel is fully covered in leather and also has the tri color stitching to it. The seats have the M logo also, dieter dieter

There was no "half leather" option, Do you have your window sticker for the car? Or the build sheet from the dealer? (if not you can ask them for it, It will tell you how the car was built from the factory) You have the leather running up the windshield pillars? Over the top of the window frame? and FULL leather door covers? exactly like mine with the stitching?

I wonder if there's any door panel with extended leather and the imola red inserts. I seem to remember that the extended leather option wasn't available for imola red interior. But maybe this part does exist for Europe spec M's. Did a quick search on realoem, and the part descriptions weren't very clear at all. If this part doesn't exisit, I wonder if I can simply swap out the imola red inserts.

I think it would be even cheaper if you sold your car and bought one with the extended leather option If you want more leather in your interior bring it to a shop specialized in interiors and ask them to cover the doors-center console-sun visors and anything else you want in leather. It will be a lot less expensive than going the OEM BMW way and the leather will be just as nice if not softer! With my Boxster S a shop here in Montreal quoted me about 1000$ to basically cover all my center console-door panels and other stuff in leather. They can even make it customized to your liking with contrast stitching of your choice and all. |

I even asked there must be an "individual" request line for the US market, I was told dealers CAN make the car and interior to ANY color, Clearly I was wrong, Or my dealer sucked, one or the other, So I settled for the black, an by the looks of it you CAN swap out the center color part on the door, I was even thinking of buying an Imola interior and swapping the seats and door inserts to my car, That so far hasn't happened as its very hard to get someone to part with Imola Interior but you never know! Yup, Smells AWESOME

ok some scary numbers,
For the Center console (where the gear knob/e-brake is) -- $1135 Upper Center console (where the storeage box is) --$1421 Door panels $2224 each, Total --$ 4448 Sun visors $436 each, Total ---$872 Windshield panels left and right $622 each, total $1244 Center Windshield (where the maplight is) $786 Roll hoops (each side, and you need 4) $397 each, Total $1588 Total cost for retrofit: $11494 Makes $2700 for the option of extended leather seem cheap! I can also provide part numbers for those who want them
