Interesting!

There are some pictures out there that showed the upcoming X5 M50i and that vehicle also had leather on the lower part of the dash. However, it did NOT have leather on the lower part of the doors, leaving the question if "full" leather on the X5 is going to be as "full" as it is on the X7 where basically everything is covered by leather.

Ah, found the image:



If you look closely, you can see the seam on the lower left corner of the image right below the trim indicating the leather covered lower dash. The dark, lower door section of the front passenger door, however, doesn't seem to be leather (no seam).

If that's really the case, BMW should call it "partially full" - LOL!
