It is very easy to tell BMW leather from BMW vinyl (aka leatherette). You just have to touch the two to feel the difference. Leatherette is very "rubbery."

She should just check and see for herself. Some people don't mind leatherette, others hate it.

IMO it looks ok from a distance, but I hate the rubbery, too soft, very synthetic feel of it.

If she is going to buy the car and keep it for a long time, I'd def. recommend springing the little more for leather. Amortized over the life of the car, it doesn't cost much.
