........Both are amazing cars and would be happy owning either one.

You're right, I misspoke. My E46 M3 had the Nappa in Cinnamon. Nappa and Novillo look the same much like the Dakota and Boston. However even though the Novillo/Nappa is nicer and more supple/luxurious, that definitely does not translate into more durable. It was work keeping the M3 leather looking nice after 3 years.
