Looking to get a 330d M Sport E91 Touring. Standard spec is the alcantara, but I haven't been able to find any to look at - all UK dealers seem to have put leather in their demo's.

I actually quite like alcantara but wouldn't feel comfortable ordering without having seen, and the leather is pushing car up to uncomfortable price !!

Any pics and thoughts about the alcantara appreciated.

Thanks

The alcantara edges are OK, good even, but the cloth centre is a bit naff. If you have gone this far (ie 330d M Sport and not 320d or 330d SE) leather will be the better bet, especially on re-sale. But if you must, then it's not a bad compromise.

I have it in my car (silver dots not blue) and love it.
I will order my e91 m-sport definitely with alcantara.

I really wish we could get the alcantara in NA; I almost went for an E46 ZHP, saved only by the impending release of the E90. Glad I waited, but now that I have my heart set on a 335 with alcantara and the rest of the M-sport interior, the wait is getting loooonnnnggg.

W/ the release of the Individual program in the U.S. sometime in the very near future(according to Ulrich Brunkhe) that option might just be realistic.
