B&0 or Full leather?
I've found two cars locally both have comp package, exec package and driver assist but one has B&O system and the other full leather.
If you had to choose between the car with B&O or full leather which would you choose? I'm leaning towards full leather but would like to hear opinions from others. Thanks, in advance!

I have a 13 with b&o but not full leather. At first I didn't care for the full leather but now I wish I had that option. I love the b&o sound system a lot as well. So it really depends if you like to listen to music or not. If you do then b&o if not the full leather. Hope it helps.

I have both and if I had to choose I would pick the full leather.

I've got Sakhir interior so the full leather is immediately noticed and appreciated the moment I open the door. If your interior color has less contrast (black) it might not be that strong of a statement. I have both options and would order again without pause.

Even though I just ordered Full leather and B&O, I hear that B&O is not much, if any, better than the standard system. Mostly cosmetic.
If forced to choose, I would go with full leather. That's what I did on my 650i. It classes up the interior. |

Full Leather is a MUST on M5/M6

Why not both? Ż\_(ツ)_/Ż
I'd take Full Leather over B&O. I have both in my M5. B&O is barely better than HK in my opinion.

Full leather. The Harmon Kardon base system is no slouch.

I have both, if I had to choose full leather because the noise of my exhaust would drown out the radio anyways.

My understanding is the B&O is quite pricey for its performance. If a dealer had a model on his floor with B&O & leather, I would somehow work a deal on it. However, if the dealer had an M5 without leather, I would walk. I would NEVER buy an M5 without a full leather interior. |

I have both, and without a doubt would go full leather. If I had a choice to spec build, B&O would be last on my list (after Carbon Brakes & Night Vision).

Full leather. I don't miss the B&O as the Harmon Kardon in my RR Sport is pretty good and I have burmester in the 991tts. Funny I don't miss the M5 a bit.

I would go B&O. I've got that and standard leather and no complaints. I wouldn't mind the dash leather but with silverstone I did not want the light color on the lower part of the doors.

If you like music: B&O, otherwise its not worth it.
The full leather is nice, but if you find yourself banging up the door panels in the lower area with your shoes then i wouldnt opt for the leather. |

Full Leather, B&O sounds great but the standard Harmon Kardon sound system is excellent
