Arm Rest....Cloth seats

Saintsman · 06-13-2016, 12:07 PM

I'm having cloth seats on my new car, I was wondering if the arm rest cover is cloth as well. All test drives have been in leather trim cars so all had a leather arm rest.

It will be leather / fake leather, I am sure. (Bloody hope so as I'm not having leather in my MSport)

I had a sport model on my first test drive - cloth seats with fake leather armrest...

Have a look at this video at 0:13 to see what you get.

...and the same for M-Sport (0:15 in the video)

Thanks for that sdb. Those seats look great on the M Sport.

My entire X1 is fake leather. It's decent but that cloth in the Sport line looks awesome.

It does look good in that clip, I've gone for the grey trim, red looked a bit young for an old man like me.
On the subject of the red trim, I was at the dealer on Saturday (free coffee) and sat in one with the red dashboard trim, I noticed that the red was wearing off/dirty/discoloured around the drivers air vent, The dealers had noticed this as well and it was being looked into.

I have ordered my 25d MSport also with the cloth sport seats.
In the past I had cloth and at the last one I've been pushed to have leather. Here in Switzerland the leader option only makes sens for me if the seat is equipped with heating and cooling. Even the impact of the heating can be felt much later than with a cloth seat.
So considering all of the above now I went back to cloth/alcantara.

PS: excited...T-1day

Look forward to some pics then as that's what I have ordered for my MSport as well.

Back to the video front (can you tell that I've exhausted them all yet?!), here is a detailed view of an M-Sport with Cloth/Alcantara interior.

Enough, it's only making the wait longer.

Got to 5200 now, so my cars getting painted, not long now.
