Extended leather question
How much of the doors and glove compartment are leather if you opt for the standard Merino leather that costs 0? I assume all the black areas are plastic and they are the cheap plastic material, not the one you can find in the center console piece (basically same plastic that can be found in 3 series, etc)?

RealStig, just a friendly suggestion, you might want to use the search function a bit more. The attached sheet can be found in lots of different threads. It should answer your leather coverage questions. Also, the topic of HK vs B&O has been covered a ton of times.

I thought you were also asking about what leatherette was.
In terms of exactly what is covered, the chart above tells you what's leather and what's plastic

i have just come from an Audi RS4 and I have to admit, the first time I sat in an m5 with extended leather, I was quite disappointed with the quality of the plastics...Just felt very cheap and nasty compared to my last Audi anyway
Different story with the full leather as all the plastic bits that I refer to are pretty much covered in leather and there is the Alcantara roof lining |

The glove compartment is foil grain plastic. The stuff that looks like leather in the middle of the doors is actually vinyl. The only leather is on seats and center armrest.
