space gray with which color gut (interior)??

i am planning on ordering a Space Gray 535i with M-sport pkg but I am not sure what color interior to go with? Unfortunately there are not many Everest Gray pics, as I am leaning toward that color, but was interested in polling the audience.

I actually do like the gray, but after 2 BMW's with light color interiors, I can tell you they are a PITA to maintain and keep looking like new. Thats with no kids and I detail the car every weekend myself....just my 0.02

Cinnamon with dark wood, especially with the sport package that give you an anthracite headliner.

CB for me as well. I LOVE this interior color. Have it on my DGII and think it looks awesome (read: better) on lighter exterior colors.

Oyster or Cinnamon.

Space Gray on Everest gray would look totally washed out.

My wife and I both immediately picked the Everest Gray over any other color we looked at with the Space Gray. Of course all we really looked at was the Oyster/Black and Black. We had the Everest Gray on our first Space Gray and will have it on the one we have ordered. I would have buyers remorse if I ordered anything else. However, we have never been fond of the darker color interior. We don't like the dark carpet in one of our others cars... just too hard for us to keep it looking clean.

After seeing our daughters black leather interior and knowing how difficult it was to keep clean... and how difficult to keep cool in this 95-100 degree weather, I vowed to never get black interior. I cannot handle the black carpet either. It shows every little speck of sand, crumb and paper. Besides that ... we both immediately thought the Space Gray looked best with the Everest Gray. Maybe it is an age thing... or simply different strokes, as someone else stated.

Personally... I would not have Cinnamon in anything I owned... and certainly not Space Gray. If I were to pick Cinnamon, it would be with a color that matches better... maybe Cashmere, Mojave, Milano Beige or Black. Even then... it just does nothing for me.

Get the grey. Very cool look and not everyone has it. Looks real sharp as a contrast with the black inside as well. Who cares about the cleaning...that is what a detail is for.

GUYS...IT'S A FRIGGIN CAR...NOT A CHILD.

I hate Everest Gray. It just makes the interior dull and featureless. And Black is dark and bleak.

Oyster-Black is by far the best, and that is why when BMW launched the 550i M-Sport in the US, they chose this interior.

Oyster/black looks so good. It's the 2010's now.
