I think some people have said with the right trim (open pore wood) and nappa leather along with leather dash which includes leather on upper dash and door tops which is thought to be a good compromise.
Hard plastic anywhere except door bottoms should be illegal in a 5 series

There is hard plastic in the center console, metal looking trim bits that I suspect are plastic, and the area around the shifter contains hard plastic (partly). My E90 M3 had better plastic bits than my M550i. But the M550 is otherwise totally awesome. Just sit in a M500i if you can and check out all the plastic bits. I don't think full leather will remove the plastic, and just know that the plastic bits snap and crackle.
