Did you know this about 2018?

Tommy L Garage · 09-23-2017, 05:22 PM

I was at the dealership today and noticed a 2018 ZCP without full leather but with stitching on the rubber dash! It looked really good. I wish my 2017 had that. Looks super cool! Is this stock on all 2018s? What are your thoughts ?

LOW4LYF · 09-23-2017, 05:27 PM

Fake stitching... no thanks!

If I could get this done in the aftermarket I would. It looks really nice in person.

Sensatec dashboard with stitching standard on all LCI F32/F82 2018?s forward.

Note the stitched seams are located in different areas than vehicles equipped with full Merino dash.

A small upgrade but not quite the luxurious look of full Merino

But, yeah. No thanks

Steel driveshaft and fake dashboard stitching: bye bye BMW forever, sky is falling, brand has lost its way, Audi makes way better interiors, etc etc etc

Edit: I think the cloth interior doesnÃ¢Â€Â™t have this posuer stitching so thereÃ¢Â€Â™s that option for you guys.

Edit 2: lol first time you guys have complained about BMW including something for free

espressoo · 09-23-2017, 08:05 PM

From the pics it looks nice to me but does the stitch color match throughout the interior?

drkeng · 09-23-2017, 09:23 PM

I found out about this after I ordered, but am I ever glad I got the full leather. looks way better.

tebbnsx · 08-02-2018, 12:02 PM

Full leather is a waste of money.

I have full leather - very happy I got it - love it - didn't waste a dime

TurboSid · 08-02-2018, 12:12 PM

Went from extended to full leather. never going back!

Alan l. · 08-02-2018, 12:14 PM

Not as nice as full leather but better than not having it. Nobody is going to sit in a 2018 and think OMG that fake stiching looks so much worse than my car with just the cheap dash without the stitching... Is it worth paying for? maybe not. Does it improve the interior? I think so...

If i ordered my car i would opt for full leather for sure but I didn't. I did however get a free individual color/paint so i can't complain too much lol

My G01 X3's Sensatec dash looks a bit better honestly...

JibSTir13 · 08-02-2018, 12:35 PM

Full leather is one of my favorite options.

It has a huge impact on the interior.

Biggest downside: a plastic interior now looks cheap whereas before it was just the norm.

Cloth interior, which my wife has on her 18, has this stitching

N54MPower · 08-02-2018, 01:55 PM

I did notice it on my 18 ZCP and thought it was cool and I never noticed it was included when the MY info was released. I've ordered both of my F80's and neither of them have had full leather since that's not all that important to me. It would have been nice if it was included but it wasn't and I'm okay with that. I spent the money on the things that mattered to me like Individual paint and the ZCP package. It's great to live in a world with options.

AlpineWhiteF80Boi · 08-02-2018, 02:38 PM

looks like BMW gotta put more work on the details!

'Cane · 08-02-2018, 02:48 PM

Dash definitely looks better than the old style without full leather.
