    I feel a little stupid asking this but...

    Does the grey leather interior on our cars have a "metallic/glitter" finish??!?!

    My father and I are noticing throughout the interior of our car there is this glittler finish all over the grey. Not on the leather, but the grey parts of the dash and door panels. Its pretty faint but whats crazy is that it does not look like glitter was thrown in the car. It looks like its embedded into the finish of the interior, as if its like that from the factory.

    Were pretty perplexed because we cant understand why BMW would do this, as it looks like a stock finish. The metallic finish of the sparkling graphite is the same as the metallic/ glitter fnish thats on the interior. its sooo weird. Ill try to post pics later but for now can anybody answer my question?

    its hard to tell but on the left side of the first pic you can see the glitter out of focus, and the second pic in the middle right of the pic.

    Maybe the person assembling your leather seats had a bit of a glitter problem that day.

    It's not glitter or metallic. It's just a "sheen". My black does it sometimes.

    FWIW... No stupid questions here.
