Yes, M5s have come with the alcantara headliner. I love it in my E39 M5 and it is definitely worth checking that box if you are going for a luxury feel for the interior.
The Alcantara headliner is one of the very few options I have not selected on my 530e order. My view is that the interior is my living room and the exterior is everyone's living room. Therefore I selected mocha nappa upholstery and the power rear sunscreen. But I went into my 330e and looked up and realized that I never look up and didn't even know what type of headliner I had. I checked the alcantara out on a car in my dealer's showroom and it felt really nice but I figured that if I never even noticed what I had in 15 months of ownership of my 330e, then this was one option I could do without.

But, of course, everyone is different.
