I don't think full leather will remove the plastic, and just know that the plastic bits snap and crackle.

The only “snaps and crackles” I get on my G30 are on a hot or cold day first getting into the car and turning on the A/C or heat. Other than that I have absolutely no rattles or creaks or anything even on poor roads.
The creaking with the change in temp is a known issue attributed to the plastic center HVAC vent behind the nav screen. This shouldn’t be an issue in 2019 models and bmW has a fix for earlier models.
