MCB with black or silverstone II - extended Vs Full

[journeyguy]

Monte carlo Blue with : black or silverstone II and Aluminium trim

Trying to decide if I need to order full or save $3500 and be happy with extended.

I think Black extended would look nice atleast everything will blend in one color, leather and plastic all in one color so difficult to make out. Looks more sporty compared to silverstone leather.
BUT
if you are doing silverstone II leather then it makes sense to go Full leather.

Do you know if the plastic dash and other parts in M5 are better quality/ upgraded than the regular 5 series ?

What say guys ?

The plastic dash is same as in regular 5 and it looks shit.

Get full leather. You will love it. And the Silverstone Full is very nice with MCB. I've driven this spec last October.

Thanks, make sense to get the silverstone Full with MCB.

If you are looking for ways to trim the fat on the MSRP (I always am) I would do black extended leather.

Some people think a leather dash is mandatory, but never once in my life have I driven a car and thought "damn if I only had a leather dash..." Just sayin'

I would rather spend $3500 on springs/spacers/tint or exhaust etc... or the B&O sound system if you haven't already.

I have NEVER regretted getting the best sound system available in any car.

I ordered Monte Carlo Blue with the stock extended Silverstone. I think the Silverstone goes so well with MCB (and my 4 previous BMW's have had black interiors so I also was ready for a change).

I decided against going full Silverstone because I have two young boys, so I wanted the seat backs and lower door panels in black to hide/minimize the inevitable scuff marks they will create.

You can't avoid looking at the dashboard. I vote full leather. (Here in Australia we get it as standard equipment, so no decision to make.)

Only you've had any brand with full leather, anything less is very obvious.
