Nicely built i7, @Streamliner . There is not a single package on your build that I feel I would pass on, they are all a must-have. Best of luck with next steps!
The only exception is that I would certainly get the Black Full Merino Leather not the extended one for sure. Did you consider Alcantara headliner?

Agree with W222, get the full leather; you'll hardly notice the bump on your lease, but very much notice it in the car.

I haven't checked the full list, but usually Full merino gets you the lower door bins are softer touch and stitched merino and look more premium.

Yeah I only said that because I have 2 BMWs now, one with Full and the other one with the lower tier (extended) merino ... and the difference is very very noticeable especially that the interior if very similar between the two and it's the first thing I notice between the two. I don't think one would notice it that much with one vehicle, nut you'd certainly appreciate the Full Merino in BMWs once you are used to it or spec your car once with Full Merino.

No one needs to take our word for it; the dynamic is much the same across their line: Get into anything on the lot with the extended and then a similar vehicle with the full leather, and the difference can be seen. It isn't that the extended is bad, but when seen comparatively, I think most would want to opt for the full merino.
Edit: Ya ninja'd me Stream. I thought it was a little odd you didn't get it, you seem like a gimme the leather man. lol

Ordering and getting exactly what you want is always fun anyway. Around here if you want completely loaded they've got you covered, otherwise it's order or compromise.

The full merino is very nice. Small price to pay for the upgrade when ordering I agree

I did get the Full Marino Leather. They assign that option to the BMW Individual Program. If you will look at my order, it shows $5450.00 for the Individual Composition, but it also shows Full Marino Leather at N/C. By the way, it comes with the Alcantara headliner for that price.

As for the I7, the vast majority of the cars on dealer lots are the M-Sport version, with all the rear seat options & larger wheels, but without Full Marino, Diamond Audio or the virtually impossible to find Autobahn Pkg. So, placing an order was really my only option, unless I was willing to substantially compromise. I hate the wait, but it is what it is.

Being the contrarian that I am, it is very difficult to find a suitable car without really compromising, unless I order it. I never really knew just how unbelievably rare my W222 spec cars were, until I tried to find a used one. Try finding an S560 with MBC, Exclusive Nappa, 3D Audio that is not black, without the AMG Line body and very low miles. Virtually impossible. I didn’t mention the 18” wheels, but add those in there and I came to the conclusion that I was the ONLY one who ever ordered a car like that.

Your baby would be harder to find, no question.
