Black Extended Merino

Anthracite Brown Poplar Matte Finish Wood,
Glass controls, Black extended merino with luxury seating package. Wish I would have checked the box for the suede headliner, really makes the all black interior look incredible.

I have the same combo and like you wish now I had checked the the Alcantara box, but wow, this is rich. What did it for me was the fact that it is NOT true black, but more of a charcoal color. Very classy.

What are those mats? They look lovely and much better wearing than the traditional carpet mats!

Those are the optional BMW rubber mats. There are two types. "Rubber mats" and "rubber liners" the liners have a higher ridge which would be good if you get lots of snow or mud in the mats it will hold it in better. I have the mats as we don't have snow or mud in Florida.

Looks great! We have one on order for my wife with the same - black extended merino with luxury seating, brown poplar wood, and then we also did the anthracite alcantara headliner and the leather dash. We were a little on the fence as to whether the leather dash was really "necessary", but we figured it might be worth it since we did the extended merino.

Those mats seem to complement this interior color combination really well - I think we'll order a set of those too.

In the config when you check alcantara head liner it changes interior leather color to white. Is that just a glitch?

There are two colors alcantara black and a light beige one. Maybe if you chose light the interior leather color changes to white?

If you choose black interior then later click alcantara liner same color as interior color it will change you seat color to white

You checked the "headliner in color of upholstery" box. Any reasonable person would think that the headliner would then be, well, the color of the upholstery (in this case, black). In fact, it changes the headliner to white (actually ivory), no matter what color the upholstery is. Our SA thought the same thing when we ordered our cars last September. When the cars arrived we almost refused them. Black Full Merino with an ivory headliner. I'm not a fan. The dealer agreed to replace the headliners, and we're still waiting for parts. Still. To prevent that, the configurator now (at least in the 40i) changes the upholstery to white if you select that option. A very Germanic solution, instead of having an option box that says "White Headliner."

Well that looks special. It makes it brighter. I can imagine what your first thoughts were when you first saw it. I hope they will changes the side panels to?

Actually have everything but two or three of the plastic bits, but yeah, basically everything from the bottom of the window panels up. Not as much of a shock though, because as we waited and researched, the headliner code kept coming up ivory, so (just past the point of no return ordering, which was actually quite early in the process) I called the SA and said "Y'know, I think the headliner is going to be white." He reassured and said "Nah - I ordered the headliner the same color as the upholstery! Black!" Okey-dokey.

The dog vomit color is with xline? Because m pack has a black headliner. Or the dog had squid for lunch?

This is crazy. Headliner should match the interior leather color. My wife's X7, alcantara headliner automatically became black when black merino leather was chosen. Sorry you're having to deal with this whole thing.

With the black headliner you're all good. He's talking about the light gray that comes in the x-line.

Thought so
Or the sales guy is really good at his job if he already had an m pack.

Hi Guys,

I am trying to match M Sport Mineral White exterior and dark aluminum mesh trim with either black or coffee extended merino. Can’t compare at the local dealers and finding it difficult to decide. Could you please help with following questions?

Q: With the extended merino leather and without the ventilated seat option do we still get perforated leather?

Q: I hear massage seat option gives very subtle massage. Since merino is softer than Vernasca leather would the massage functions be felt better with Merino?

Q: Ventilated seat option in F15 made the seat harder. Is it still the case with G05?

Q: Since sensatech leatherette dash is standard and I hear it looks good, does it still make sense to order leather dash?
