Hans, on the Mini Usa Site if you build the 7 Package it only comes with malt brown if you try to change it to black the 7 package will get deleted. My Dealer tried it too and it did not work for him either. I hope they will get away from the malt and replace it with silver. The malt is holding me back.
I would place an order for a 7 because I like the color combos but the malt dash yuk but there is a solution for it. I wish we could get a black dash option.
I have been using vinyl spray on some of my seats of my 1960 Mercedes,s and it was holding up for years. So that would be a cheap way to fix it.
The Problem of the F56/F55/F57 Series is, the Upholster said this, that the (Malt Brown) inlays can't replaced or upholstered with leather/alcantara without the complete dash.
Because we would (tray) the black inlays change in Pinien Gruen. Only with complete Dash
