Graphite / Black Extended Merino leather (ZAP8) Photo Reference?

davidvahn · 05-08-2012, 01:51 AM

I am looking for any reference photos of the Graphite / Black Extended Merino leather (ZAP8) that will be available on the US //M5

Sorry if this has been posted before. The dealer could not provide reference and my search came up empty.

This is all I've been able to dig up so far.

thx for the link

I am glad that I didn't choose graphite, as it looks so "plastic"

That interior is called "Individual uitgebreid leder Merion Graphit" which roughly translates to "Individual Graphite Extended Merino Leather"

This doesn't sound to be the same thing as "ZAP8 Graphite/Black Extended Merino Leather" as it doesn't have a single mention of the color Black.

Those German photos appear a lot ligher than the reference I have, which would make sense if the leather is mostly Graphite and not Black, and is taken with what appears to be a Flash from a dealer's camera.

I don't think it's the same Priority 1 Upholstery Option as the one coming to the US, but I'll need to be sure before I order because, given the reference you gave, I'm not a fan anymore. It's not dark enough.
