I have a black interior, I won't be sitting on them to feel the texture, so unless my bald head can tell the difference, they should be just fine for black. Besides, how safe is it to drive around daily while laying your head on the headrest anyways...I'd be falling asleep on roadtrips if I did that.

Both!

They are cheap:
I seen them at auto tuning shops where they said they are the same ones.
They cost a little more than the ones on ebay.
And yes, they include those cheap crap game, joysticks and headphones.

They will look cheaper:
If anyone buys them, they will look cheap, especially compared to the rich BMW quality.

This is when I was doing a lot of research on what is the best for the price out there. I actually took the demo model from the shop and did a comparison in my X5. It didn't even come close to matching and I have a black interior too. Black is black but the look and feel is cheap...

You don't need to sit on the headrest to feel it. What kind of stupid comment is that?
Just the fact that your hands will touch it when loading the DVDs is a noticeable cheapness of the material and the entire assembly.
A lot of people rest their heads on the HEADREST when driving, it's adjustable.
Mine is... and the screen can be tilted up and/or down, dual tilt, great for tall or short people....
