The Anthracite brown poplar trim is good enough for me. That and the Coffee merino leather contour seats and your set.
Now, if BMW had not reduced the legroom in a new enlongated extended car. Still don't understand that one. My 2013 RX350 specs out with more front legroom by 3.3"! |

Coming out of a 2016 X5M. With leather dash, would not even consider having one without. I am in Florida and have had my car for 30 months, park it outside and dash is like it was when I picked up the car 30 months ago!

I thought I had looked at this carefully at the dealer when I was deciding on my options. My recollection was the non-leather dash still has the stitching so it has a similar appearance as the leather. Granted it is not leather but it is not the plastic dash of some lesser BMW's (thinking x1). Is my memory failing me? Someone want to post photos of a non-leather dash?

You are correct, there is stitching and with a leather-like covering. |

I can't believe I originally didn't get it. If anyone is considering not getting the leather dash - GET IT!!

IMO, it's worth it. I miss it every day on my 2017 Audi Q7 where it was no option.
Interior materials are very important to me. Was disappointed that BMW deleted the Alcantara headliner for the MY19 and hope it comes back for MY20 (and a full leather option, please!). |

So this raises an interesting question.
I don't have the leather dash, and it's just a soft touch black plastic all the way across. I got a brand new G05 X5 loaner the other day, and it was a base model with almost no options (certainly no leather dash options — the window sticker was in the car). However, it had a stitched dash covering with a very coarse grained material (SensaTec?). Seems like some X5s without the leather dash option are black soft touch plastic, while others without the option are covered in a stitched material? |

During the days of the "leather credit" wasn't the reason they did this was because they were out of sensatec? Perhaps if your car was built with a leather credit you got the stitched/leather dash for free?

Did they change it recently? I've seen some with standard dash and it is not a stitched "leather look" like your pic.
