Cloth parts on Vernasca Leather?

LeeD31 · 07-06-2018, 07:25 PM

Hey folks. Am I crazy or are there parts of the seat that are cloth on the Vernasca Leather? I optioned my 40i with cognac color and I see pieces of cloth on the inside and outside of the seat and along the back. Can someone please confirm?

There is cloth on the lower sides of the bolsters for sure. I just saw this the other day when I had dropped my key between the seats.

Good to see it's confirmed but quite disappointed that it isn't leather all around. Looks really cheap

I don’t think it’s that noticeable. It is there but you have to look for it.

The only place I've really noticed cloth is in between the rear seats when you fold them down. I actually appreciate that because it is slick and I can imagine rubbing leather would bind or wear.

Many new cars are like this. I think my previous 535d with Nappa leather was like this as well. It looks like most of the cloth areas are where two sections of the interior meet, or could rub against another part of the vehicle. I see this as a benefit as it prevents leather on leather rubbing/noise. I have dealt with that in the past.

To be honest it seems like it'll better for long term wear. You'll never see or feel those areas when you're in the seat.
