It's a shame you have to option them out to get ventilated seats. We have those on my wife's S5, but the "base" seats definitely look cooler. |

I test drove a new 2024 Z4 last week and was very unimpressed with the Vernasca leather. It felt cheap and "over-plasticized" with that fake pebble grain. Maybe they do that because that particular leather product is more durable in the sun and open air of a convertible - or maybe just to save money? I suppose it could be recovered with better leather but that sounds expensive.

Question on Black Vernasca / Alcantara Interior
I've never had or experienced Alcantara interior and I agree with previous posts asking why only the headrest portion of the seats.
That said, can anyone speak to the durability/maintenance aspects of Alcantara? Were I to go with a black interior, if the Alcantara wears poorly or difficult to clean, might just stick with Sensatec vrs the hard, Vernasca leather. Have the Sensatec in the x3 and like it. Would love a fabric option for seat material but know that's not available in U.S. bound Z4s. Thanks for you insights! |

I love the Sensatec seats in my Z4. Partial to plainer headrest stitching and not sure I'd know it wasn't leather if I didn't know.

There’s also two versions of Sensatec. Think the new one came out for either the 2022 or 2023 model year. IMO, is much nicer than the older version, which is still in the Z4.

Hmm..good to know. Thanks. The Senstec on our '23 x3 M40 is quite supple..don't miss the "hard leather Vernasca" that I had on our former 2019 230i xDrive.

Yeah, that’s the good stuff. Wife has it in her X3. The newer stuff is perforated. Older version is not. Easy way to tell.

Second that. I had them on a Range Rover Evoque. I did notice them come on but they made no difference to the vision that I needed to drive at night.

Yeah, this too. I really only notice them when I’m in the suburbs. Too many lights in the city to have a big impact.

So based on my personal experience, if a car has it, then fine. I wouldn’t pay extra for it as an option. But that’s just me. |
