Extended Merino - What surfaces are leather?

While waiting for my delivery, I want to do some pre-work in regards to getting interior cleaning products.

What Im trying to understand is which surfaces are leather and which are not. Considering I would need to clean non-leather surfaces differently compared to leather ones, I wanna get an idea what is what.

For the reference, the order is for X5 M60i (extended merino leather).
Obviously all seating surfaces are leather.
What about:
* steering wheel
* dash
* doors

I believe that a leather upper dash is an option for the M60i. Your vehicle should have Merino leather on the doors in the central area, e.g., below the windowsills and on the trim panels immediately below the sills and on the armrests. The steering wheel rim is leather. The lower dash and glove compartment door covering should also be Merino. Anything else would be some variety of plastic.

That car has full leather, not extended leather.

No worries. Just didn't want some people to think extended leather covers the entire door panel in leather like it does with the full leather option.
