Surprisingly no

For a 35i, if you choose any color Dakota leather, there is an option (under "options") to get the $1200 black nappa leather dashboard--but it sounds like you want nappa seats as well

Yes, Nappa Seats and dashboard, all black. Well from prior pictures black Dakota seems not bad when matched with Nappa dashboard so will need to settle with that combination.

Yup, that's what I did

Only option I wish I had. Full leather is always the way to go IMO.

I just traded in my 2012 E70 that had a full Nappa package and it was amazing. I upgraded to a 2016 F15 that has every option imaginable and more loaded than my E70 and I'm struggling trying to enjoy the Dakota Leather. I didn't think I would be as bitter as I was downgrading from 4 years of Nappa Leather to the Dakota Leather, but I guess I just got used to it.

The good news is at least my 2016 has the Nappa Leather Dash and tops of the doors, thank goodness, which I thought would suffice when I made the decision to purchase it, but now that I am driving around, I am noticing all the very many items that do not have the Nappa leather.

My thought was to see if I can buy a few replacement parts in the Nappa Leather. I was looking to just get the two center console tops, and the small elbow rest tops of each door. I feel like if I can get these items in the Nappa Leather, it will mesh well with the little Nappa I already have. Has anyone ever tried this and does anyone know if it can be done at a reasonable price?

I've seen someone in Europe, can't find the thread at the moment but it's also on this forum, changed the entire interior into X5M interior, so merino leather seats and doors covered entirely with leather.

You can even get the center console in it as that comes with the full merino leather package on the M. I picked one up from a forum member who swapped for the cf M performance. Love it so much more than the plastic.

Merino leather in smoke white with scotch dashboard.
Love this combination and not too difficult to keep clean if you apply leather guard protection.

You can buy the replacement parts for the X5M. The whole door panel including the botton one is leather.

Also, as mentioned above, the center console (normally plastic in the regular X5) is leather in the X5M.

There's some ebay postings every now and then. Just keep looking.
Alternatively, you can have an auto upholstery shop custom make it for you.

As someone who enjoys the little intricate details of their car's interior, I think it's worth the $ - especially if you plan to keep your car for years.

To replace it you need do disassemble the whole front half of the interior. The dash isn’t a separate piece, it is attached permanently to the whole front structure, check out the pictures here.
