Centre Console - Leather or Plastic?

[bde]

Was wondering if it's made of leather or plastic of some sort (where the shifter is). It really feels like leather but I'm not 100%.

I have a non extended leather edition one.

Should be leather

If you are referring to the centre console itself (the part that houses the ash tray, Power, EDC, and traction control buttons as well as the iDrive knob) and not the shifter boot, then it is a plastic part that is covered with vinyl. If you had the extended leather option, it would be covered with leather.

It's plastic unless you have extended leather. They just texture the plastic to look like leather.

It's plastic covered with CRAP. The same stuff that peels in the door handles, steering wheel surround etc.

Mine is leather and I thought they all were... Both of my M3's had the extended leather package.
