Do Non-Black M6 interiors have deviated / contrasting stitching?

BIMMERPOST
     Featured on BIMMERPOST.com




Do non-black M6 interiors automatically come with deviated (contrasting) stitching. The seats in this photo appear to have dark stitching.

On the BMW USA website, I don't see a provision for a deviated stitching option in the 'Build Your Own' section

The first and third "Red Interior" photos are from a M6, while the second and fourth ones are from a M5. To my eye, the M5 Sakhir Red interior had matching Sakhir Red stitching, while in the M6 the stitching is darker, etc.

My understanding is that contrast stitching is an M6 series thing. Part of BMW's effort to position the upcoming M6 Grand Coupe is an upmarket version of the M5. If I were BMW, I'd offer an upmarket interior option in the M5, at least as an Individual option, but BMW knows one Hell of a lot more about marketing than I do and I'm sure they've thought this through.

I am going to attempt to include it as part of my order and hopefully at least, get a price to include it as an option. Maybe even an individual option, if required.

Was thinking Sakhir leather with silverstone or black stitching depending on if I go with Frozen black or frozen gray.
