So how many of you guys put any leather product on their carbon leather trim when they do the other leather in the car?

bumping this again bc i ran across this in the bmw press release introducing the m3.as many have said,it's leather. this answers it definitively for me:
Four exclusive trim strips extending throughout the entire width of the dashboard beneath the Control Display and instrument cluster, provide further options in customising the new BMW M3. The “basic” trim comes in Titanium Shadow, with Aluminium Shadow and special leather tanned in carbon design as well as high-class wood in fine-grain surface design and platane wood in Anthracite all being available as an option. In each case, the trim strip gives the interior of the new BMW M3 its own very special touch ranging from cool high-tech to sporting elegance. here's the link to the whole press release- http://www.m3post.com/forums/showthread.php?t=55136 |

Thanks, but it was already definitive. Manufacturers are careful about misrepresentation. No way they would use the term "leather" if it was not.

It looks great. Can it be a DIY job or would it need to be done at a dealer/shop in order to swap the aluminum for the carbon fiber leather trim?
