Dashboard with extended leather option

I'm a bit confused. I thought the extended leather option would include leather on the dashboard. Is this how it is with others that have the same option?

The real leather dash is part of the "full leather" package.

Full Leather is Fantastic. If you don't have Full Leather AND a sunroof, you are just an M5 Pretender. (LOL JK).

I love the full leather. I was looking at an M8 convertible on Wednesday, nicely discounted but did not have full leather or the upgraded stereo, so no thanks. For that kind of money I want all the goodies, accept the night vision, I can do without that.

Leather EVERYWHERE! My Trunk is lined with leather. LOL.

True story, took our first Lab to obedience class back in about 2005 in my then new RS6, and she vomited in the back (on the floor) LOL

NO DOGS.

Just imagine, the dog scratching the Piano Black interior Trim!!! OH MY!!! LMAO.

That reminds me, my car is filthy, need to clean it later today. Will be smoking some chickens out side so I'll have some idle time. LOL. I do wish I still had my heated garage with running hot and cold water and a huge floor drain like I had in my prior house, I could just cry.....custom house so much nicer than some big box prefab POS.

For even full leather, though, there is none on top of the dash, as in OPs pic; just like below dash trim level—so like the glove compartment, etc.

Well I do not have access to my car at the moment, but I was thinking that the top part of the dash was where the plasticky vinyl type stuff was. If it is leather, then it is definitely a different color than the rest, because the rest of mine is Aragon, and that part is black. Have to check it when I get back.

You have the full merino leather option. Your dash and upper door areas (above the door handles) are finished in smooth merino leather. I was wondering why the full merino option costs $3500 if it was just the lower glove area that runs under the AC controls but after seeing an extended vs full merino M5 in person, I noticed it's also the dash and door areas too. With the extended leather you have the sensatec material (grainy texture) on the dash and door areas.

With the M5's base price, full merino should be a standard just like how they made the 4 zone climate control standard with the LCI. That's another thing, 4 zone climate (4NB) which used to be an option part of the executive pkg includes the touch screen AC display. I love how BMW always keeps you on your toes with these small little touches as options. That's why it takes me weeks to look up all the features/options each time I order a BMW lol.

Mine has the 4 zone also. It was spec'ed out as some kind of F90 M5 'Launch Edition,' or something like that I forget what they called it, loaded all but the night vision. I was very happy to find one within a few hours of my house.

Ok, right you are, sir. Mine has leather there, too. It is just black, so I had assumed (misremembering) that it was the vinyl, plasticky stuff. The full leather is nice! I probably wouldn’t have ordered it, but this car that was specced ALMOST 100% like I wanted it had it, so I went for it, and I gotta say...it is nice!

Once you go Full Leather, there is no going back. LOL.

I just wanna add that, to get the most accurate information for your specific car model and the extended leather option, I recommend reaching out to your dealership or referring to the latest vehicle manual. They should be able to provide you with precise details about what's included in the extended leather package.
If you're interested in learning more about leather and its various uses, you might find this article at https://vonbaer.com/blogs/blog/leather-patina on leather patina insightful. It offers valuable insights into leather craftsmanship, which can be relevant not only for your car's interior but also for other leather products and accessories.
