I completely agree. I only changed from a 3 series to a 5 series for those reasons. I don't expect BMW to give me the better leather, etc. for free; I was and am willing to pay for it. But the company doesn't give us the choice.

"The company" being BMWNA right? Because BMW does offer Merino leather for the 3 series in other markets. I'm not sure the mothership has a say/can dictate what BMWNA offers? Maybe Merino leather is not available at the Mexico plant (yet)?
