@mwbbmw: it's not the laatherette. That's only available with black and beige. We would have selected it if there would be grey. This is pure cloth. We've decided for cloth because it was cheaper (€1.400 for leather, plus ~€1.000 for heating, plus something else), we have a cat, we don't care that much about leather, and we'd rather spend the money on "gadgets".
We decided for grey to be different from any other German - here there's only black leather, beige leather for 7 series, and some grey leather in 1 series. There was no car (not even one) with grey cloth or beige cloth. So we and a couple friend of ours decided to get this X3 on cloth grey, and they got a 3-series touring with beige cloths. The idea is to go to the lease company, when the lease ends, and tell them "hey, you're never gonna be able to sell these cars to any German guy, so what about selling them to us by half of the price?" >
