The full Leather is the soft merino leather extended onto the dash glove compartment and other small areas. The other one is a sort of non-premium type leather imitate.

Full is a much nicer look and the leather is MUCH nicer quality!

I'd configure your car online and see what the look is as your chosen leather interior color carries on onto more surfaces and is not black

Many choices

Full leather is definitely worth every $. Brings a higher level of opulence to the car's interior.

Yeah - no q from a "look" standpoint especially on high contrast interiors.

2007-2016 - My F12 (CP, Sakhir,NightVision -every option minus ceramic) which by the way is quite similar to the pic's I have seen of yours will be here tomorrow, and it has full Sakhir.

h-u-g-e (the donald) difference. my delaer has a m6gc with the normal leather, and it just doesn't compare to the full. with these cars - you're in for a penny; in for a pound. go full.

You can not appreciate the difference from the online pictures at BMW's website. It is something you have to see in person. The full leather is much nicer and unique.

Is true .... but if there are not two identicle cars with the two leather choices (standard and the full upgrade) on the showroom floor to compare, at least on the website you can see the additional surfaces the full leather spills over onto ... full leather covers more surfaces in the leather color you choose, and the website does provide a good idea of HOW MUCH more SURFACES with leather you are getting.

NOTHING REPLACES TOUCHING AND FEELING THE REAL THING!

How to clean full leather on doors?

Speaking of full leather.. I picked up my full leather F12 today and how best to clean off grease or smudges (assuming they are coming from fingers) on the black part of the door?

the pdf will show the difference, and extended leather comes with leatherette dash (synthetic leather) with stitches. Not as nice as full leather because full leather comes with dash in nappa leather.

I wish everything was Nappa leather... Merino leather is nice but so soft and easy to be scratched ...

I am pretty sure since I just ordered one.. the full leather option was about 20k USD, B&O was 15k...the MSRP for the M6GC with these two options was about 40K. They gave some discounts though, but still not comparable to US
