Full leather on M3/M4 vs 4GC

[Slow///1]

Now that the official 4GC photos are out, has anyone else noticed that its entire dash is wrapped in leather of choice? I've ordered full SO on the F80 and in the Grand Coupe version it looks like its everywhere compared to just the passenger side console handle and dash strips that we get.

I'm sure the F80's interior is going to be a nice place to be, but I'd bet BMW would get more people to check that "full leather" box if it was more complete like in the GC.

Those are just colored plastics or whatever that soft-touch material is.

A little misinformation here -- the 3/4/4GC have no option similar to the M3/M4 "full leather" that puts leather on the dashboard. The 4-series dash is colored red when coral red leather is selected, but it remains plastic.

Additionally, the M3/M4 "full leather" actually does put leather on the entire dash/glovebox, but uses a two-tone scheme whenever a color other than black is selected. So in addition to the colored strips you mention, the whole dash is wrapped in black leather.

It appears that the F80/F82 Individual interior colors will have the same dash leather treatment.

Sorry, I guess if was referring to the lower portion of the console, not the dash.
