BMW Leather options

[rousseau]

Is there any difference in quality between the "new england" and "nappa" leathers on the Z4? It seems from the options list like most colours are only available in one but not the other...

cheers

Nappa leather is softer & of a better quality then the new England leather. You should be able to get the same colour range in both.
HTH.

Thanks. I'm assuming both Nappa & New England are softer & better quality than the standard "oregon". Is that right?

New England leather is much better than the oregon. You can't get nappa on a Z4 or the fake leather option. Go for the New England if you can afford it but be carful when escorting the ladies about as those big belt jobbies they like to wear have snagged on it before as they get in & out "oops sorry" they say. mutter to yourself that you'd be better get your oats tonight for the bollocking your getting when you tell the SM.
