Leather dash pics

I'm also curious about how the leather dash will wear over time. Is this going to be faded and cracked in 5 years or be as bulletproof as the stock dash?

Methinks it probably requires a little extra maintenance (ie leather conditioner), and if you live in a particularly hot region you may consider against it.

It adds a Very Classy and Different look to your X5! I think that it looks Great!

Many thanks Craig, those are great pics

You have wetted my appetite further, only 19 days to go until we get our new X5.
I will post pics as soon as we take delivery.

We had an 01 S600 which comes with the leather dash that we traded in for a 07 S600 when it came out... never did anything special to the dash and it looked just as good after 5-6 years as it did on day one. The 07 is holding up perfectly as well. =)
