I would contact Acedeucy, he can give you tons of information on the headrests and where to buy them. He is very up to speed on the market so I am sure he could point you to the right reseller to get a good deal on the product or if you have questions about functionality.

About your leather concern.........did they definitely provide the Nappa leather (which only came on 4.6's and 4.8's), or is it the Montana leather which came on all 4.4's and 3.0's? The Montana had a slightly more "pebbled" appearance, whereas the Nappa leather was completely smooth, and a bit softer. I would be really surprised (and impressed) if Invision went to the trouble of speccing out the two different types of leather for their headrests, when the colors are almost identical.

The different leather used in X5's was Dakota Leather or Nappa Leather in addition to alcantara. Not Montana.

When I was on the phone Law asked me if I had Nappa leather and I confirmed that with him. I just went out and took a picture with a flash and not with iPhone pictures and I can really see a difference now in the leather.

Here are so is what I notice from this picture.

A) You can definitely notice the grain quality difference.
B) The headrest almost looks gray versus the black of the seat.

I will have to double check my invoice (left it at the office) tomorrow morning and see if I can't get this all sorted out with Lawrence.

Is that shot of the cover or the headrest itself?

jsears · #16 04-21-2009, 10:26 PM

That's the headrest itself.

My mistake----Montana was the non-M e46's....I always get the Dakota and Montana names mixed up. The question still stands though.

That's very funny because I make the same mistake and always have to check my sales sticker.

See post #14 for the differences in Leather.

Great stuff jsears! While the leather may not be a perfect match, it's as close as it gets for these things. I have the Invision Rev II's in gray in my X5 and I don't even notice the difference anymore. Granted, my leather is not nappa. They are better than the LCD screens fitted into OEM headrests because all of those seem sort of puffy afterward and there is an external DVD player to mount whereas ours are integrated.
