I have the black extended with Carbon leather trim. Its a great combo. To me it was a must option. When I drove the M3 last year in Germany, the car was configured with extended black and carbon trim, and when I saw it I knew I wanted it.
Most pictures never do it justice. If BMW had allowed the center console and lower half dash to be speced in Black extended, and then you could pick another seat colour I might have gone for that, but the other colours in extended was just too much colour for me on the dash. |

It's really a personal choice whether you like the extra leather or not. For me, it's worth the extra grand, especially with Novillo leather. You should try to find an example of extended leather M3 first if you're on the fence.

Verdict: You can't really tell the difference if you have black extended leather. But if you hate yourself for being too opulent, by all means, get it!

It has nothing to do with this for most people. It's the $1k opportunity cost of the extended leather. I can think of many, many better things to spend that $1k on.

+1 I opted not to get extended leather in a black interior and I cannot tell the difference.

extended leather all the way...i was just thinking today how good it looks and wished they even did the upper dash and entire door in extended leather like the porsche extended leather package. makes the interior look and feel a bit classier and worth price tag of the car. get it...otherwise you may regret it later. believe me, you will not miss the the grand spent considering you're about to spend 70-80k on this car!

But haven't you heard? If you have to ask, you can't afford it.

Extended Leather looks awesome with Black interior. The car is not the same with all that plastic. I wouldn't hesitate to get the black extended again if I had to do it all over again.

After sitting in a car with extended leather and non extended it is DEFINATELY worth it. For me it moves the interior up from Okay to classy. The dash looks superb around the knees and the centre console looks fabulous with the stitched side pieces if you look carefully you can see the ordinary plastic that runs all over the sides of the console in non extended leather.
It really is in the eye of the beholder ! Some think it's great if expensive some don't see the point. I would buy it again and its a £750 option in the UK You guys have cheap cars in the US my total bill was £56,000.............. Don't quibble over a $500 option |

Thanks for the Great Pics IWC Doppel! I was already 90% sure I was going to go ahead and get the extended leather but after your pics I am 100%. It would be a huge mistake not to get it!
Thanks everyone else for the Input and thanks for the Financial Advice ericld!

NO one will ever know (or care) you spent the extra money for that - unless you tell them/

If I actually blow a whole grand on some animal skin, I'd make sure that I tell every single one of my passengers.
