Best Interior with Black Sapphire or Dark Graphite

Hi all, planning on ordering a '17 x5 and wanted opinion on best interior/color combos.

Debating between Black Sapphire or Dark Graphite for exterior

Interior debating between Mocha and Terra (have a 5 month old, so ivory/beige is not an option).

Appreciate your input!

Sorry, I always feel this is super subjective.

I prefer like colors, so I'd go black on black.

Graphite and mocha don't seem to go, imho.

I have ivory napa. Love it. There's a pic of the interior in the owner classifieds right now if you want to see what it looks like.

Ivory is ok now with kids as there are OEM seat protectors for the rear now available under as an accessory. I have carbon black with ivory white that can be combined with leather dash and confort seats. Kids also like a lighter interior. Mocca (ih not nappa) cannot be combined with leather dash and comfort seats.

Surprised you going for a dark outside colour given where you are, thought you'd be going for as light as possible to mitigate heat build up inside?


So, of those two options, I would lean towards Graphite with Terra....largely, because I'd never have a black car ever again!

It's funny, I've said that too.

But I always go back. Classic color. Hard to keep clean. But when clean, oh...so pretty

I had a 2014 graphite with terra. Very pleased. If I had to redo it, I would stick with terra and maybe possibly change the exterior.

I have Carbon Black with Terra and I love it

When I was buying, I considered the Mocha, and really liked the leather color
but what I DIDN'T like was how getting Mocha changed the dash color

with Mocha the bottom half of the dash is brown

with Terra, the bottom half of the dash is black

Thanks for all the replies.

As you know, it is super subjective and after changing the build 3 times between black and graphite --> we finally went with Dark Graphite and Terra interior!

Hi,

I just bought a new 2017 X5 35d Dark Graphite and I love it. I would definitely go with a black interior everything else would be an extreme contrast to the exterior color. Not sure how well that fits.

Space gray outside, ended with black leather dashboard and black Dakota, wish they offer black Nappa, mocha just doesn't cut with dark outside colors. Ah, yes it was also m sport so had limited outside colors.
