I know that the dash is available as an extra $ option, but are you saying your way (getting someone to make it) is the only way to get the upper door panels outside of ordering a Full leather option

If you get Individual Extended leather instead of Full Merino leather, you lose:
1) Leather Dash
2) Leather upper door arms (black foil plastic area at top of door)
3) Leather on lower part of door around door compartment pocket
In Canada, they quoted the leather as follows:
1) Extended Individual $3000
2) fULL mERINO $4500
3) Full Individual $9500
So BMW Canada is ripping people off because the difference between Extended Individual and Full Individual doesn't justify a $6500 premium for the dash, upper door arms and door pockets.
But you and I are in the USA so we don't know how BMW USA will price this. Our pricing may be more intelligent. So far ours is very different to canadian pricing, because in the US Full merino is $3500 and Extended Individual is $5000. I think at $5000 we should be getting Full Individual.
On my 2012 550i, the leather dash option was $2200. So if they mimick that, then for $7200 you can get Extended Merino plus Nappa Dash. I think that is a rip off too.
Bottom line, I think I will either learn to live with Full Silverstone, or they will offer Leather dash and door arms for $1000-1500 on top of the $5000. I think $6000-6500 for Full individual Merino would be reasonable. More than that and it starts to make you think you should just get Full Silverstone.
