Unless you’re against animal skins, I’m not sure why anyone would not go with Merino. It elevates the driving/passenger experience every day. Well worth the upcharge.

I cannot find the thread but does anybody recall which thread it was stated and confirmed that with perforated centers (ventilated seats), if the leather optioned was Merino, the centers were not.....and if memory recalls on that thread, it was Nappa.
I may be totally off on the above, hence I seek that thread to revisit the statement |

Edit: Here is a thread where it is being discussed and shown in German pricing guides. https://g05.bimmerpost.com/forums/sh....php?t=1892900

I tried the leather seats in the showroom and it was still the easiest $2k option to skip.

Sensafin seems to lack the texture of the leather so I don't seem to 'stick' to the seat as much, it was the only way to get my preferred color (cognac), and it costs $2k less.
Leather is just one of those things that wasn't worth even an extra dollar to me. 15 years ago I would have been mortified to buy a car like this without leather, but the Sensafin looks and feels so good that I just don't care any more.

It’d be super unethical and misrepresentative if BMW used Vernasca leather in the extended Merino leather seating upgrade! That isn’t mentioned anywhere on the configurator when optioning Merino upholstery. Is there a notification when selecting ventilated seats, whichever trim that option is available on, that it changes the leather type on seat centers?

I still love my Merino coffee. It's in perfect condition and very comfortable with massage, ventilated, 20 way adjustment features - 2019. I cleaned and treated it with Gyeon leather shield and the ease (slickness) of getting in and out is so cool, months later. Highly recommend this ceramic treatment for all coverings.
