I have some questions since I ordered the leather dash too.
Is the top (black part) of the doors covered in leather to match the dash? Did you get Nappa leather or Nappa extended leather?

The top of the doors is, unfortunately, not covered in leather.
I have extended Nappa leather. A picture...

My car is lowered today. I was very curious for the result, and i have to say that i'm disappointed.
I've measured the height of my car before and after. The lowering in front is only 10mm, and it's 25mm in the back. In front it's not the 25mm AC Schnitzer promises on their website.

I hate when they change the angle of the car. I would imagine the angle affects the aerodynamics and BMW engineers would have thought about that carefully.

And again, i'm not really satisfied. The car is too low in the rear, and not low enough in the front. Now, tha car is visual out of balance. It looks like the trunk is heavily loaded...

This is why I will go with coilovers, but I know that's a problem with the xDrive.
