Yes, the colour of the leather is a concern but I will have it treated along with the paintwork to improve its longevity. Well, that’s the hope, anyway...!

Re: G31 B5 BiTurbo #491
The car has Comfort Seats, which means, amongst other things, that the headrest bolsters fold round to cosset your cranium...it folds back if not wanted. No creases.churchie386 wrote: ↑Thu Oct 29, 2020 9:29 pmLizard Lounger wrote: ↑Thu Oct 29, 2020 7:24 pmThanks guys - really looking forward to its arrival!
I love the spec, too. I was in two minds over this and the ruby black car with Lavalina, but the black would have driven me crazy trying to keep it looking great, and the Lavalina only included leather seats - as you say, the Merino leather is practically everywhere in this car, plus the seats are ventilated. I also think that Alpina Blue is just right on these cars (although I saw a lovely Aventurine(?) red B5 Touring on the Sytner site about a year ago that I would have loved).Metrics wrote: ↑Thu Oct 29, 2020 6:25 pmStunning and congrats! Looks like the best spec car I've seen so far, Alpina Blue and full leather interior, including lower dash (very very few have this).
Also love Smoke White, as it gives you contrast stitching in the black which looks lovely
Very jealous. Did you get a good deal on it?
I was happy with the overall deal - Alpina don't give mahoosive discounts though!
Looks great. One thing, the driver's head rest looks to be creased compared to the passenger one. Is it that the head rest can bend at the sides, thus causing the crease only temporarily?
