SZ_ford 5th Gear November 15, 2018 Share November 15, 2018 Alcantara seat. i tot alcantara is always marketed as more premium? but i agree, not as nice to touch as nappa leather Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spring Moderator November 15, 2018 Share November 15, 2018 i tot alcantara is always marketed as more premium? but i agree, not as nice to touch as nappa leather Alcantara is indeed more premium but our locals prefer leather. I think cos our local weather makes it sweaty for us and thus fabric, Alcantara may not be suitable in tropical countries, just my opinion. Actually Alcantara can be cooling as I’ve sat on a VW Sharan which is fitted with Alcantara but perception is that sweat will stain the suede areas. 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Using BMW.DE configurator, Alcantara is default choice. Leather is EUR700 option. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vratenza Supersonic November 15, 2018 Author Share November 15, 2018 i really wonder if it's my skin thick or my pants/shirt too thick..... cannot feel the texture of the alcantra vs full leather with my usual jeans/pants, shirt/poloT/Tshirt. Hot or not...no difference since always switch on aircon when in car..... Alcantara seats gives more grip when taking hard corners although can be replaced with a good bucket/sports seat in the M2/M240i Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xeryh 3rd Gear November 15, 2018 Share November 15, 2018 Alcantara wears out pretty quick too, and after couple of years, look quite patchy... 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

For good cooling, u need seat cooling/heating on a hot day. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

badlammy 6th Gear November 15, 2018 Share November 15, 2018 Exactly because of our hot sunny weather, alcantara makes more sense. It won't scald your butt like leather, even if ventilated. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
