The door panel is only finished in leather when the owner gets the $1800 extended leather option, which not many plumped for - this applies to Z4Ms as well as Z4s.

Indeed it is,

You also get leather roll bars, leather vanity mirrors, leather center console and leather windscreen frame,
The leather seems a little softer too,

My previous Z4 didn't have extended leather, The M does,
The M's leather feels softer

Either way I very much like the extended leather option

This is a picture of the extended leather. Door panel looks the same to me. The center console is what looks different to me!

Mines the same just "black"

and this one (again from ebay)

Is non extended leather, You can see the only leather part is the strip through the center of the door, The rest is plastic (or whatever BMW uses)

The second one doesn't look like extended leather. Notice that it doesn't have a line of stitching along the base of the upper section like the first.

The dash would be the same, no matter what. The upper door, console, and sun visors are covered in leather with extended.

Any decent auto upholsterer would be able to do it (they can even order the BMW hides), but it would probably cost more than the $1800 BMW would have charged in the first place.

I may look into eventually, as my original plans for my car included re-doing the seats in saddle brown with black stitching.
