5 Series M-Sport seat question

w4hsa · 07-14-2010, 11:58 AM

Hi,

can anyone tell me if the m-sport velor seats are the same as the normal sport seats? Are they available in leather?

Anybody have any other shots of the m-sport interior as I cannot decide between the two?

Finally would cinnemon leather go with a white car?

regards Andy

Sport seats and the sport seats with the m-sport package is the same shape, but the m-sport seats has a grey shadow cloth/anthracite alcantara upholstery.
And yes, you can order leather in stead of the grey shadow cloth/anthracite alcantara upholstery.

Yes, the very same sport seats and you can upgrade to leather. BTW they are half Alcantara (fake sude) outers with fabric inners. All the best pic are already here http://f10.5post.com/forums/showthread.php?t=403526.

As an architect I am highly opinionated. Cinnamon definitely looks best with black saphite mettallic or black and not so good with white.

Cinnamon & white, just like corn flakes + milk!
Beautiful!

Sorry, but I must agree with Bernpep... white and brown is way better than black and brown.

Does the M-sport seat come with the M-sport package?

The September 2010 update bulletin doesn't mention the seat being part of the package?

Hope so, I love how it looks

In Europe yes, not so sure about US as I guess leather interior is standard in the US.

carl_d, do you if the 550i here in Europe gets the m-sport cloth/alcantara seats since leather is standard on the 550i?

It always depends on the country and local BMW marketing so best to check locally or on your local website configurator.

In the UK leather is standard on all F10's but you can spec alcantara/cloth as in the pic above (its cheaper than leather but there with no refund in the UK). In other counties there may be an upgrade cost to leather, which should be cheaper than a full price "cloth to leather" upgrade (Worth £300/$500 normally).

BTW - The seats are the same, normal sport seat, reagrdless of the covers you spec. The seats are not special M-Sport seats they are standard sport seats, however the Alcantara/Cloth covers are unique to the M-Sport package. If you go for the Comfort Seat you must have leather.

Take care, as leather is a must have when you sell the car on and more so on bigger engine models. The Alcanatra/Cloth would be okay on a 520d but not on a 550i, anything above 535 should be leather IMHO.
