Have you been in a 991 with full leather? The leather is levels beyond a BMW, it's not even comparable.
It's still waxed, German leather. I'm not saying it's not nicer than the plastic interior, just that I wouldn't allocate any money for it. I'd rather have performance items. If I wanted plush and comfy, I wouldn't be looking for a Porsche. Of course I also wouldn't be shopping 991's if I were shopping for a used 911.

And yes, the 991.1tt leather I've driven doesn't seem any nicer than a full leather F12 M6 interior. Neither are anything like what a Ferrari or Aston use, much less Bentley, Rolls or even Jag. I know the Connolly cows are gone, but the Brits and Italians just do dead cow better than the Germans.
