I think the 7 series has 3 different leather trims. Here in the US there is the standard dakota and the priority one option Nasca leather. It is perforated, so I think that is what you are calling the mesh. Iceman may have posted pics and I will probably do so within the next few days. It is on the seating surfaces in the front and back seats as well as on the door panels.

Do all american cars come with leather as standard, I know you have a lot more standard than the euro cars, I checked the prices In UK compared to US and its a joke how much more we have to pay. As usual British people pay a lot more for the same thing.

The mesh leather is the Nasca leather what you ONLY get with ventilated seats.
Ventilated seats are a priority one option in the US.
