Vernasca is a tough leather which require no maintenance care
Sensatec is actually softer but synthetic, if BMW was not telling us it was sensatec I think most people would be fooled by it.
I, personaly believe Vernasca offer best compromise as I think leather will wear better than Sensatec, which I think will degrade and fall apart in long terms 10+ years, like most chemical based textile. And Merino will scratch and look crappy over time as well. So I am going with Vernasca. I have Dakota in my X5 10+ years and it looks great. I have never ever even wipes it  I hope Vernasca will be as good. |
Yes, this is a sensible approach to the selection of interior material. The Vernasca does appear to be the best of the various choices here, an opinion that some here become aggressive about. LOL.
I don't expect the leather in my SUV to be that of the Ferragamo and various other Italian made premium grade shoes that I choose to wear.
