Pics of the alcantara/cloth combo on M sports pack

Hi Guys

Please post any pics you have of this combo, I'm struggling to find any photos good photos that show off what it actually looks like (Never trust press release photos!)

Thanks. Still working on the BIG decision of whether to go for leather or not

I've seen it IRL and the following pics to it justice. The blue is not that dominant, which is why I kept it even with my paintjob .

Hope that helps .

Both are good choices, but whenever I am asked:
Cloth/Alcantara instead of leather

The blue hexagonal detailing on the cloth and the stitching on the Alcantara are very discrete. Won't mess up any of the available exterior colors or interior trims.

I have seen IRL the alcantara interior with hexagon aluminum and matt blue and honnestly I found it a bit cheap looking so I ordered black Dakota leather, horizontal brushed aluminium and gloss black.
But it is just my personal opinion, and I understand some people prefer the hexagon trim stuff as it looks more special/sporty but less classy..,

I also had leather in the previous car, and chose alcantara now. In my opinion, it looks better, and it works a lot better when it comes to comfort and friction.

After posting the pics in post #2 here and claiming they do it justice according to a quick look at my dealer, I can now completely confirm it after having them for 4 days. They look just like on the pics. I really like em, and the blue-ish part does not conflict with the orange paintjob, its just not dominat enough for that.
