Next is paint correction/ceramic coating, window tint..

CF trim to be replaced with Sen as soon as I get the parts.

These are iphone pics - will post better ones taken with the D810 after the ceramic coating is done ...

Love the exterior color choice. Azurite is fantastic.

Thanks mate - the Nutmeg pbly isn't the most popular leather choice to be honest - most of the F85's here is SoCal are DG on Mugello - so I wanted to change it up. I'm going for the "elegant" 7-series earth tones and wood look as opposed to the sporty look.

Looks awesome. Love the combo.

It really is - I recommend it to anyone who is looking for a somewhat different dark color. Its a very inky dark blue - looks black in low light and a rich blue in the light.

It and MW are my favorites ...

Ahhh. I understand now. But I think your combo with the Sensa wood would look great. Hope you can find it/get it.

Great choices. Thanks for sharing.

@NikonMan congrats on the upgrade. Car looks great.

remmib · 01-29-2017, 11:26 AM

Never seen the Nutmeg interior in person, and I can't decide if it's more brown or green?

NikonMan · 01-29-2017, 11:45 AM

Thanks guys - nutmeg is definitely an earthy brown color - without photo-monitor color correction it always looks greyish or greenish. In person it's actually very nice - in photos it seems washed out. May be why it's not very popular.

Love the extended leather. Don't wanna pay 3600 for it though. If they offered black extended napa on the 50i I'd do it anyway. Smoked white is tempting. Coming from 1.5 years on Ivory napa and it hasn't been bad with a 3 year old. 2 car seats now though...

I agree with sensa.

Have you seen the fineline natural wood trim in person though? Very earthy and the texture adds a lot to the look and feel.

Neuera09 · 01-29-2017, 03:15 PM

Very nice color combo! Congrats.

WeatherTech - they are from my old x5 - replacing them with the M Performance mats.

You mean the Fineline Pure? No I haven't - was thinking Poplar if I couldn't source the light maple Sen trim but I managed to locate a dealer in the U.K. who will order Sen for $1500. Impossible to locate them here in the US .. I even tried Canadian dealers and they won't cooperate ...

Smoke White (As Luca42 has on his) was my next choice but BMW won't option the Scotch brown headliner and dash anymore. The 'extended' Individual leather is a 'no cost' $2900 option over 'full leather' on the x5M and covers more surface area. Some folks prefer the 'full' as it breaks up the interior color patterns more. 'Extended' is actually more leather more than 'full' ... no clue why BMW uses these terms.

NikonMan,

Just for my understanding, you ordered the Nutmeg Extended Leather Option on your X5M?

If so, the Extended leather looks like it covers all the same surfaces as the Full Leather option...
