Did/will you order full or extended leather?

After being in the car with it, I'm finding it hard to look past it... I tried, but I can't.


It makes the car feel more like the price tag.

I got extended at the end, my car was delayed ( was full black ) a lot so I got one from the lot without it
I have minor regrets about it

extended black with carbon trim looks sporty
I do believe with full will be awesome and make it feel more premium
with extended the look still looks nicer than a normal 3 series
the contrast stiching and merino leather will do it

I didn't feel it was worth the money. I still have yet to sit in an M3/4 with full leather but I will say the dash feels kind of cheap with just extended. Go for it if you really want that higher end feel as it would certainly look better.

thanks guys! Will go with full!

I went full leather in my M4 in Moonstone/Black and could not be more pleased.It is a very significant upgrade over the E92 M3's that I have been driving for the last 6+ years.The full leather in combination with the carbon trim creates a very rich interior.

OP here, and after having my M3 with the full black for almost 3 months now I couldn't be happier with my choice. I had enough of the cheap plastic interiors from my previous Subaru's so yea go for it guys!

I have full leather on the X5 M, and I never really look at it. I'll stick with the extended on this car, it's definitely an upgrade from the interior of the E90.

I went extended leather here. I did test drive one with full leather and it does look great but its $2700 extra in Australia and I just did not see the value in it.

If you have a black interior it makes way less of a difference. Any other color the little contrasting leather bits really add up IMO. Extended vs Full with black is not that big a difference, with any other color I'd say it is.

Obviously this is totally subjective but I can't agree with this. Black looks fantastic (most tied together) as full leather and a huge upgrade over extended. Again though, totally depends on whether one wants more subtlety or less.
