Default F sport steering wheel stitching bump

Anyone else have a ridge at the top of where the perforated leather meets the smooth leather on their wheel? Its at the 10 and 2 positions. The transition is a bit more than I would like to feel when the wheel spins...just want to see if it's consistent on all wheels.

i saw the stitch bump. It's along the inside of the wheel rim. Seems fine to me as it is near where those large bumps are

I'm not referring to the pronounced 9 and 3 o'clock bumps. Its the sticking where the smooth and perforated leather connect. Going to have dealer replace the wheel if I find others are smooth.

These feel totally normal to me.
