Partial Leather

Now that Audi has made a switch from offering Premium Vinyl Upholstery as the basic upholstery (as a alternative to cloth) to partial leather, kind of like MB-Lex. I know that BMW still offers Premium Vinyl Upholstery for their 3-series, 5-series, Z4 and the X5. Do you think that BMW will make the switch from Premium Vinyl to Partial Leather anytime soon, like next year, starting with the 2004 5-Series?

Just to remind you that Mercedes Benz once used Premium Vinyl Upholstery (MB-Tex) until 1999 when they switched from the MB-Tex to Partial Leather Upholstery (Leather Seating Surfaces or MB refers it as MB-Lex). Audi has just made the same switch for their Audi A4 and A6 lines for the upholstery from Premium Vinyl to Partial Leather.
