I love the Wool/ cloth idea but the seats are weirdly styled. Which makes it a turnoff.

Is Amido blue? I really would love a true black leather option since it feels and looks sporty on a alpine white.

I don't think this is just a BMW thing. I think that automakers erroneously believed that BEV buyers are in the save-the-earth crowd that would also want to avoid animal-based textiles. I think this is a false association. But nearly every automaker leads with pleather, and many do not even offer a leather interior where they have other ICEVs in their lineups that have leather. The only automaker I know that leads with leather in their BEVs is Genesis.
