xLine with Vernasca, you're paying $1450.
Merino is an additional $1K from Vernasca. Sure there's a difference to justify the cost, you're getting the highest quality BMW leather for $1K ($2450 from SensaTec).

Luxury seating is $1600 includes $750 multi-contour (which is a f'ing steal these days compared to $1200 and more years ago) on top of what ever your leather options are.

SRSLY you just bought a very profitable SAV from BMW.

Please don't confuse the OP. The standard Vernasca sport seats have an entirely different seat design than Vernasca with multi-contour and Vernasca with luxury seating.



@BayAreaBimmers

To clarify
Luxury seating include the same 20-way multi-contour seats with heating with ventilation and 3-level massage functions added.

Vernasca with multi-contour seating and Vernasca with luxury seating have perforations. There are more perforations in the luxury seating for ventilation e.g. in the seat cushion. There are non functional design perforations in Vernasca multi-contour seating. When you upgrade to extended Merino you get different seat stitching pattern.

TLDR; Here's a recap from Vernasca to Merino
