Does anyone have photos of instrument panel in leather? Thinking of ordering it on mine.

Thanks for the pics. Looks great. Here in australia its an option on its own. Hadn't seen any photos yet. Thanks again

it is part of the indiv. package but can be ordered as a separate option too. Costs 2000 euro in the latter case (in Belgium that is)

that's so nice. is it still called "extended leather"?

Do you guys notice the instrument dials are different? No econometer but engine temperature and the dials itself have more 'interval lines'. It also looks like the dials do not properly fit into the outside aluminum ring. This looks more like the dials from a 3 series.... Maybe this was superimposed..?

it may actually be an x6. see the knee pads on the centre console?

You maybe right, see the paddle shifters and exterior color (vermillion red). But I did not know that the X6 has the engine temperature gauge instead of the econometer...

isn't the econometer under the speedo?

No, I was referring the the MPG meter under the RPM dial. I don't like it on my X5 (the units are such that I am always in the 'bad zone', i.e. it is very hard to get more than 20 MPG and with 20 MPG the dial is already in the righthand zone (the bad zone)....
