Yes this is my thoughts. I think I am going to go with all options at this point.

The only one I am unsure about is full leather and thats because of the practicality than anything else. I am worried that there will be massive scuff marks on the doors and back of the front seats that wont get cleaned. I have a 3 year old who loves kicking the front seat and every time she gets in and out of the car I get pains on my chest!

Also, regarding the full leather, I'm actually a bit concerned about too much leather. My interior will be silverstone and while full leather looks really good on dash, the lower parts of the doors and back of the front seats are going to be extremely hard to keep clean. I have a 3 year old and even with the plastic parts in my current M3, these areas I mention have permanent scuff marks that just won't go away. I dont know how durable the Merino leather is, but if the same happens, a) it's going to look absolutely terrible, i dont think that color is going to hide these marks as good as black, and b) it will probably cost me serious money to get these removed/repaired when I'm returning the car.

I always wondered how practical silverstone leather is really. That being said, there are no other options. I'm sick of fox red in my current car, so not going to get sakhir orange and there is no way I'm getting black interior, it's too boring.

I have the STD Silverstone leather , not had a problem with it on two M cars, i do not like/need extended full leather, total wast of money if you ask me, and come resale time gains NOTHING in RV.

comp package and executive is all you need. The rest are subjective

Re: full leather - I wish the under-dash areas were black leather rather than the seat color. Beyond that I definitely prefer full; gives the cabin a much more lux feel.
