Interior Color Combination?
Going to place an order soon for 550iMSport, fully loaded , Alpine White with 1 of these interior combo's;
Black Dakota/ Black Anthracite wood Black Dakota/ Light Wood Oyster/Black/ Black Anthracite wood Here's my quandry. -I have Black Dakota/Anthracite bamboo in my current '08 550i , like it, but not sure I want this again. Probably most sporty . -Dont like the aluminum hexagon, too industrial -Seen a couple pics of Black Dakota/light wood but I havent seen it in person, might have too much contrast off of black leather? How would this look with AW exterior? -I have 2 boys, so as much as I like the Oyster/Black, this would require more maintenance than I want ( those fellas are messy), and I dont think it has much contrast against the AW exterior. Looking for some feedback and wise counsel , Thank in advance |

I'm going to order a 2012 550 M Sport that's AW with black Nappa and brushed Aluminum. I think this gives the best look. Wood is just too old school for me.

How about Cinnamon Brown to change things up a bit? It's still kinda dark and has a different character than black. The Anthracite or Dark Wood look good with it.

picking up a oyster/black combo later today.... and have a 2yr old.
But reading this forum and others - no one with kids seems over concernced with the leather getting dirty etc so im guessing it cleans up easy.

I had my heart set on Cinamon interior with black exterior but the sales guy talked me out of it, still think about what the car would have been like

I went for cinnamon, bored with black, but still compatible with mountain biking, canoeing and three children....

With an 8 month old passenger I went with black dakota. For me just feel it will weather better over next couple of years as he grows up and becomes more adapt at food throwing

I have sophisto exterior with cinnamon interior. Love it! I was worried it'd be too orange but the colour turned out just perfect. Warm, rich brown with just a subtle hint of red.

Thanks everyone, and the winner is
After too much deliberation, went with my first choice, Black Dakota and Anthracite wood.
I sat in a 5er today with this combo, and realized I really like it and that for me it was the best alternative...2 active kids in and out , often straight from the ball field with dirty cleats and uniforms, backseat sometimes gets a little messy. Black is easy to clean and will look great for the duration with periodic care and cleaning. Stay tuned for PICS in 8 weeks or so |
