I really like the nappa feel. And I have just ordered it on my new ride.
It?s always a bit strange to order something you only have seen printed in the BMW brochure.
Why couldn?t BMW have real live samples for us customers to wiew. Should make the decision much easier.

Just curious about the color. Has anyone seen the tobacco leather or even better have a picture of it !

I saw it in a new X5. Looks very rich - nice color. It is a very dark brown - like dark chocolate or roasted coffee beans. Sorry, no pics.

Sounds nice regarding the color

But you also mentioned that it isn?t durable to scratches. That?s just what I was afraid of :thumbsdown:
Please tell me more. Do you recommend me to choose the standard leather instead
