How to get nappa steering wheel?

I am trying to find a replacement steering wheel for my M6. I've seen on the 2010 they have a nappa leather factory wheel, which is different than the one on my 08. I ordered a 2010 replacement wheel from the dealer but when it showed up its the "old" leather and not nappa.

I've called around the parts department and the guys tell me there is no way to order the wheel on "nappa". They order by part number only.

Does anybody have any ideas or suggestions?

I posted this in the M5 section too.

Your best bet is just taking it to a leather specialist and having it rewrapped. I know they can get high quality leather and i have even seen them match the stitching like the original.
