My Ride: 2004 545i alpine white/beige, sport package, nav, premium sound, cold weather
I have read where people have ordered nasca leather. I don't see it on the BMWUSA site. What do you get and is it available in the US?

I believe it is a Priority 1 Option along with the ventilaed seats. For some reasons P1 options are not shown on bmwusa.com or in the brochure. Your dealer should be able to order it for you but I think you have to get that with the ventilated seat option as well.

All 3 of these are independent options; except, if you get the ventilated seats you also have to get the nasca leather. To be clear, the opposite is not true, you can get nasca leather and not get the ventilated seats.
You can see these options and their codes in this document: link
I really wanted the ventilated seats and nearly got them -- in the end it seemed to be a P.I.T.A. Why? Once you get the ventilated seats you run into problems also getting the cold weather package...

There is no problems getting ventilated seats AND the cold weather package. And it's an awesome combo. Very much worth it if you live in a hot or hot and humid area. When you order the CWP and Ventilated seats the line with heated seats gets substituted with vent seats in the section of CWP but I can confirm that you get both.
Me too. I ordered vent seats and CWP. It worked and my car will be in my hands next week. ImolaDredM...did you get your car yet? If so what do you think about the vent seats and the quality of the leather?

The seats are great. If you want to get an idea of the seats just look at the 7 series with ventilated seats. It's the same. The leather is good. I was a little worried about it at first but I have no complaints about it now. The ventilated option has already come in handy since we had a wet day with temps in the mid 80's. It's an option that I can see myself getting again unlike the HD Radio. So far I'm very happy.

Picked up the car on Wed. I haven't had a chance to take pictures yet and with the pollen and rain it's looking bad so I'll have to clean it up.

Pictures would be great. I was a little worried about the leather and the black headliner. I was afraid the car would look small or appear dark inside.

I'll try and take interior pics this afternoon if I can get home while there is still light out.
