Not being a hater at all but that was exactly my first thought when I saw the close up of the door. Think any high end BMW, X5M, X6M or even the new M5 for that matter. The top of the door and dash leather is the same as the seats, Nappa/Merino, whatever you want to call it. Its the smooth leather, not the grainy leather.
Just curious, what $1,200 option do you need to get proper smooth leather on dash/doors? |

I think it's included in the 4M5 Leather Dashboard option. Given that these are primarily people-haulers and not garage queens, I appreciate that BMW provides the choice of durability or luxury. If you want leather seats and dash, it's only $2,650. And, if you're X7's going to have a tougher life, Sensatec seats and more durable door tops are standard. Even "full" leather, with dashboard, is only $6,350.
