Excellent - another D5 ordered! Picture of my embossed headrests on the ivory nappa below - just for info - for £430 I would bin these and have the nappa dash £575 - it’s much nicer than sensatec and you see it all the time (unlike the headrests). Also no heated steering wheel?
The CNC paddles are much nicer to look, touch and use than the standard paddles. I think the roundels on the configurator are an error on merino - I am fairly sure they aren’t compatible with either nappa or merino due to the crisscross weave design of the seat back.
Best of luck with the order!

Hands up…I forgot to add the heated steering wheel, but in my defense the car is garaged when not in use but I’ll buy the other half some gloves.

I was 50/50 re the flappy paddles but after some research if I don’t like them I can just buy the Alpina buttons and it’s an easy job to change them over.

Always liked the embossed headrests on alpinas so just thought I’d try it.

The heated wheel is the absolutely archetypal “not bothered about it until I experienced it, now couldn’t not have it” option. I’d file lumbar support in that category too, generally speaking.
