I think My 3 series had Montana leather, my current 5 has Dakota Leather and the LCI had Nevada Leather?

It is very difficult to voo hardcore ford-gm-chrysler fans to try a german made car. Lots of people just dont want to look at it cause its not made in america (most of them).
So the marketing department at bmw tried this trick to somehow make bmw look american friendly.
