Anyone here have Amaro Brown in their X5M/X6M?

I performed a search but came up with no photos. I'd love to see how that upper and lower dash sections look compared to the online configurator photos.
For comparison this is Amaro Brown:



This is Aragon Brown:

It's disappointing that the upper dash is still black. Seems to be the case across all BMWs, even if choosing Individual in the configurator.

i think quite the opposite , the fact that upper dash is different color makes it look beter .

especially with the contrast stitching and dont forget the upper part is leather and not foam . i think it would be too much amaro if the top dash was covered as well

+1. I agree. I have smoke white and my upper dash is brown -- scotch brown. My lower dash is smoke white. Both form a nice contrast to the carbon fiber at the edge. I think the contrast makes it look better.

I don't know if I would have picked brown for the upper part of the dash, but the BMW designers did a great job. It all flows together well.

Yours looks great, IIRC. But black-on-brown doesn't look right to me. Be nice if you could choose WHICH contrasting colors you get, even if you are forced into two-tone.

Good point. Having the choice would be great.

But I recall a few years ago when Porsche allowed people to configure their Panameras with any color dash. Some opted for very light colored dashboards, which turned out to be a nightmare because of reflected light (given the angle of the windshield).

I'm okay for choice if there are also warnings when a combination could be distracting.

(Thanks for the compliment)
