I found myself a dashboard in the same colour ( Cohiba braun) leather as my seats and doors.
But it was a hel of a job to put it in.🤔
Below I put the old and new one next to each other. The black one is the standard you get and the brown one is in premium bmw merino leather.

I really want to swap my dash out for a full carbon replacement then wrap it in leather.

OP did you replace your EVAP while you were in there?
No I didn't replace it. Your idea sounds great, but would be costly and difficult. Carbon doesn't have much give which makes it more difficult to get it in the right position. Plus the dashboard would need to be a almost perfect fit for your car because of the stiffness of the carbon. If you pull it off, I will be your number one supporter.👍👍👍👍👍🤩

Today I tried my hand as an upholsterer, covered the sides of the dashboard and the A-pillars with Alcantara. Goes nice with the rest of the Alcantara, carbon and leather. 🤔
