That’s too much $. I would expect that leather option to be included with a msrp $158k price point for the ALPINA XB7. This is where the ALPINA has to show its up charge over a loaded out X7M50i and not including Lavalina leather is where the ALPINA becomes a tough sell to me and I am the demographic that buys fully loaded vehicles. The ALPINA ground effects and wheels are all very marginal at best so the interior HAS to show where your money is going. I see the ALPINA XB7 option makes sense providing it comes standard with the Lavalina leather interior.
The fly in the ointment is the Merino leather is a top premium leather option on its own so $15k up charge is extremely high considering its not like you are jumping from a mid grade leather like Vernasca leather.
