The embossed 'grain' is clearly finer, but as has been pointed out, whether that translates to pliability and ease of conditioning and overall leather quality will have to be determined. As we have not been provided with specs by BMW, I am still going on the assumption that this is an attempt to make the interior higher quality to match the top-end competition.

Appreciate the updated photo. Looks a lot better than Dakota.
