Premium Leather Option

Does anyone know exactly what the Premium Leather option gets you on a 2012 e63 Wagon (assume the sedan is the same, but not sure)? I've heard a dealer say it's just "better" leather, and others say that it gives you leather on the dash and other places that would normally have MB Tex (but no difference in the leather itself). Appreciate any info/clarity on this.

i drive them all, fast and hard
i know with out s550, it has nicer softer leather onthe seats,

it was hard to tell a significant difference than the regular leather

what im wondering is if on the 2010-11 cars, when there was no option,
was that leather their regular or premium?

I have extended (Premium in US?) Designo leather in my new 2012 E63. This gives me a stitched dash and leather in the doors identical to the seats. Center console is also wrapped but I think it's standard black leather.

Don't remember if there's more. Will check tomorrow.

And yes I owe the community a few pics. Coming up.

Thanks Ken,
Wish I'd have included it in my order. Love the look of stitched leather on the doors/dash. I understand the MB Tex has some sort of stitched look on it, so maybe it'll look close.
