If you want 100% leather, you have to add the "EXTENDED" package, which "EXTENDS" 10% more leather to the car, map pockets, etc.

So, unless I'm wrong.. And I'm pretty sure after all these months of confusion, I've gotten it right... "FULL" means NO CHARGE leather. "EXTENDED" means, $$$, which equates to leather on the map pockets and a few other areas.

Of course, Extended also comes with the comfort seats, which gives you another setting at the very top of your back and electric lumbar, which activates when you corner..

Does that help?
I think that it's actually flipped.

Full = all leather - all surfaces including things like pockets and could include dash/console leather with the 4M5 option (no charge with full Merino or perforated).

Extended = stock - not quite all leather.

It's like a Starbucks venti/large/etc. BS.

Also, the comfort seats are part of the ventilated package ($1900) that requires perforated Merino seats ($3800).

At least that's how I read it (had to read it 3x)
