M3 - Anthracite & Black Cloth/Leather - Anyone have pics?

[conradb]

I just tried searching for pics on here and came up short. Does anyone have pictures of the default Anthracite & Black Cloth/Leather package for the M3? I want to see if it actually looks good. I'm kind of tired of dealing with so much leather in the car.

Here is an entire thread dedicated to it and here is a picture of my Speed Cloth.

Thanks!

That looks great on the seats, but the doors look a bit tacky. Wish there were more shots of the doors.

Are the arm pad on the doors leather, or are they plastic? How about the center console arm pads?

[AMPowerJ]

Arm pads and center pads are leather.

Nice! Do you have any more shots of the doors? That's the only thing that I'm iffy on right now.

Have you noticed any wear on the seats since you've gotten it?

do a search on speed cloth, not anthracite, even pops up on google.

Here you go

Did you look at the link I provided?

The door panels is pretty much what made me go with leather instead. It didn't have the 2 piece stitching across the center like the leather. I built a stripped M. Leather was seriously the only option I paid for.

So did I. I only optioned leather and 19" wheels for my e92. I was iffy on the silver 18" that come on the 2011. I would have gone 18 if they we still gunmetal.

Yes, but the pics in that thread didn't do any justice. Do you have any other door pics, or would be willing to take any? I would really appreciate it.

The look of the doors will make or break my decision on cloth or leather.

Here is a pic of mine.

In the past my all my bmw's had full leather, mostly bright colors. I spent a lot of time in cleaning. So i decided to order black leather.

I am totally satisfied with the color.

how often do you look at the sides of your door?

I look at it enough to prefer full leather. And for an extra $950 at msrp for full leather its worth it to me so I guess that answers your question.

I thought that was the cloth door paneling at first. Yeah, the leather looks great. I have black leather in my 335i coupe right now and it looks nice, but the smooth leather in the M3 is what worries me. I really don't want cracked leather, but the look of the cloth on the door thus far doesn't look all that great.
