Question on Napa Option

I have a quick question regarding the Napa option and comfort seats. I currently have Napa in my E46 M3, and I really do want to get it in the X5 my wife and I are getting ready to order as well.

When ordering the Napa option and the Comfort Seats, are those seats surfaced in Napa as opposed to Nevada? Can you order the two of these together? Has anyone done this?

Thanks for the help.

Cheers,
KEF

If you did not spec Napa you will get Nevada, which is the standard leather that you find in most cars of this type. In the post regarding the comfort seats below, the pics are showing Nevada leather because you can see the grain in the leather.

Napa is a very nice, buttery smooth, soft leather that adds a high quality feel to the interior.

I do not have any pics of Napa in an X5

Here is Napa Cinnamon from an E46 M3

You should be able to see the difference in the grain of the leather. This is not my car, BTW, my interior is black - this is easier to see.

I know the napa is softer, I had it in my M5. I would think the nevada leather might wear better?

There is a rather significant difference, I don't have a close up of the leather, maybe I'll take one tonight when I get home.

I have Napa Comfort seat on my X5 and the leather is very soft, much softer than the Nevada leather. The comfort seats are amazing too, most comfortable seats I've ever had in a car.
Attached is a photo but it doesn't really capture the smooth texture of the Napa leather.

Once you get used to napa then difficult to go back. Both have pluses and minuses.

Ah, perfect - that is what I was hoping to see, thank you very much.
