Leather leg rest

codelilac · 03-01-2022, 01:56 AM

Anyone else notice that a lot of review units have a leather pad by the knee, while most being received are creaky plastic?

Anyone know what's up with that?

Carbon interior trim includes nice alcantara pads (at least I think trim package is what added the pads).

This is correct...the M Perf Dry Carbon interior trim included Alcantara knee pads.

Literally the only gripe about the interior so far.

My knee is getting a little bruised actually because I rest it there.

Thanks for the pic, I think that part is orderable, but looks like a huge pain to install.

Is this non US only? Didn’t have a carbon fiber option, only upgrade we have for trim is Aluminum Tetragon.

I'm in the U.S. the carbon interior is something that the dealer can order. It's not configurable on our end. I happened to ask what M performance parts were available to add when I ordered mine. At the time (October) the carbon interior was the only one that she could add to my order.

Damn, wish I had known this when I ordered mine. Goes into production this week so I don’t think I have time to change it.

It might be a port install item so you may still have time to add it.

oh yea I missed the fact that wireless charging wasn't standard... when I found out it was way too late to add. It was another one of those ones that wasn't listed on the build website but could have had the dealer add.

I believe it was a $1405 option. If I remember correctly.

Correct! $1405 on my window sticker.

Man I wish I knew this option was available before I went with the aluminum tetragon

Seems wild they don't advertise these options more.. it's hidden on the port installed options list, had to ask my dealer as they didn't bring it up. Learned the hard way after my F22 there's always more options than online.

Thanks! That’s great to know, going to give my dealer a call tomorrow.

Yeah… so many things that just didn't show up on my build screen. I'd prefer to see them and just have them not orderable vs find out after

It's a port installed option so you can add it any time before it actually arrives at the port. $1400 installed.

Is there somewhere we can go to see these options, a wiki here perhaps?
