I like the merino (have it in my car-tartufo).

Youll get a leather dash and stitched lower dash. The door cards and handles will also look better.

I like the full merino too, so I think that would be my solution too.

Do you happen to have the part number for the 330e start / stop button?

The part number for repair kit for the silver start/stop button is: 61319475062
The repair kit does include both start/stop and start engine stop buttons.

Thank you!

Now I just need to decide between silver or glass/crystal buttons.

Any plans to add any LCI cosmetic stuff to your car, such as grille, steering wheel, etc?

I know only some, not all LCI changes are an upgrade. I’ll probably source a pre-LCI airbag eventually for my LCI.

How did you add the memory seats on the passenger side? Can you provide details on wiring and/or coding? How long did it take?
