The Alcantara is something that both Ferrari and Porsche (may be others) use in the racing versions of their typical street cars. I believe the Alcantara is supposed to be a synthetic suede leather that a bit more durable for those applications

These are some photos that I could find quick. I'm sure there's better ones out there. I believe Porsche's latest GT3 is completely covered in the stuff. Ferrari takes it a step further with the diamond stitching pattern. Kind'a tacky except for those that love racing stuff. No doubt BMW had that in mind with this special model.

I have to say, it looks like a cheap bordello.
