Extended Kansas Leather Option question

Nothing on the US configurator tells you what you actually get covered in leather when you select the Extended Kansas Leather option on an sDrive35i in the US. Can someone point me to something official that describes what exactly is covered in leather?

Ok, so you are pulling my chain or you have a different brochure than the one I was able to download. My brochure has only 33 pages.

Thanks. That is page 27 in the pdf file. But I now see that that is numbered 47 in the pic. Much appreciated. That is what I wanted to know.

Weird, they make a difference between the 30i and 35i in the USA...
In most countries in Europe (maybe in all of them) you can choose Extended Leather for all three types (23i, 30i and 35i) and this is also the case for the Pure White Design package.

Woah...

Incredible. I have ordered my 23i with extended leather in Switzerland.

If they would restrict this in Europe I would be really mad.

Looks like BMW is trying to push the 35i in the US...

To add to this request: I tried downloading the file from BMW USA but they want me to fill in address information in order to download the catalog.

While the content of the file is not 100% valid for the European market it is nevertheless an interesting read for us Europeans to see the differences between our two markets.

I would support the request for sharing the file as a download...

once you enter the address info you get the link to download. It's no big deal. It allows you to choose if you want them to contact you or now. Just deselect the radio button that says have someone contact me.

Hey Guy, but what is lethearette??

I wonder what is the material used for the front panel on the passager side. Usually it is gray, but dunno if it it made out of pplastic or real leather, since it is present no matter we opted fot the extended leather or not..., futhrmore we can see the double seems around it..

Leatherette is plastic. Pretty hard to tell it from leather, but leather it's not.

In case of the Design Pure White this part should be in white Nappa aswell but the black leather parts are in Kansas leather as milhouse mentioned before.

In Europe we are getting the standard speakers (6 spearkers), the HiFi system (11 speakers) or the HiFi Professional (14 speakers with surround sound).

Interesting...
