Need help on deciding interior!

BIMMERPOST
     Featured on BIMMERPOST.com
All,

I have placed an order (x35i M Sports package) but I am running into dilemma.. I still have time to modify my order until it goes into production so I am asking you all to vote if it is possible!

I have ordered Dakota Leather Mocha, Fineline pure wood trim (number 1) but it seems too dark.. but I really do like the pure wood trim. Which one look the best? My paint is alpine white.

1. Dakota Leather Mocha, Fineline pure wood trim
2. Dakota Leather Terra, Fineline pure wood trim
3. Dakota Leather Canberra Beige,Fineline pure wood trim
4. Dakota Leather Canberra Beige, Fineline Oak Wood trim
5. Dakota Leather Terra, Fineline Oak Wood trim
6. Dakota Leather Mocha, Fineline Oak Wood trim

Are you going with the pano roof? Might be best sticking with the lighter options if not? Just my 2p worth but I've always loved the silver and aluminium look for MSport interiors. All fine choices you've laid out though, great interior on this beast!

Mocha w/ oak is classy that would be my pic. But if i wanted it to be super sporty definitely go with the aluminum w/ black or mocha leather.

Can you order the mocha package w/ ventilated seats on the 5.0 zmm (m sport package)? I love the mocha stitching but I think it would be pointless unless you can get it with the ventilated seat option.

I just noticed that the shifter seems wider and more contoured? Is that new for the F15s?

Hm it is a little dark another option is the cinnamon looking terra. My friend just picked up a 550i x drive white w/ cinnamon and it looks great. I guess for new models they changed the name to terra but it looks like ex cinnamon.

I plan on getting either white or glacier silver w/ mocha or black interior but I'm leaning more towards mocha since i already had black on my e70.

If you like the ivory just go for it but just know you'll need to get it detailed once a month.

They can be cleaned but lets put it this way my gf sits on an old tshirt because her jeans bleed onto the seat so fast. She even mentioned that her color is coming off her seat from excessive cleaning and the car is just over a year old. Her words "the color is beautiful but not worth the hassle". So it all comes down to if you want to put in the work or not. If you are leasing then go for it and if you end up hating it you know its eventually going back anyway... Lol

Garage List
I'd suggest the Terra and Fineline Pure combo. I have Cinnamon and Dark Bamboo in my '11 35d, which looks less "pedestrian" than beige, grey, or black, without the upkeep issues of Ivory. I have a 4 year old who isn't the messiest kid in the world, but he is 4. The seats do not show dirt, see to be stain resistant, and receive complements from nearly every passenger.

Saddle Brown was always one of my favorites, and Cinnamon freaked me out pictures, but wasn't anywhere near as orange as online images suggested. I haven't seen Terra "in the hide" as of yet, but I believe it's going to look spectacular. Mocha would be my second choice, and after that I'd have to settle for black. I find BMW's beige and grey interiors nauseating, especially the plastic, vinyl, and cloth surfaces, all of which look like something out of a rental-car.

Mocha package look nice but I would rather choose Dakota over Nappa. Nappa seems to soft for me! I actually ordered my M sports package with ventilated seats/multi contour seats! Those two were must!

As far as the shifter.. Sorry i cannot tell you much about it.. I haven't seen a real one yet.

I do have pano roof. It seems to be a standard for US Spec. I was actually thinking about black and aluminum as well.. too many to choose from!!

I did get the M Sports with ventilated seats/multi contour seats. I have sports seats on my 328i and i always wanted to try multi contour. I heard nothing but good things about it!

Thank you for your input. After I did some research, the brown you are talking about is something calls "Leather 'Merino' Amaro Brown"?. It was not on my selection list but I found it on BMW Facebook page. It offers for BMW individual. I would love that color as well.

The fineline pure wood looks nice but how scratch resistant is it? I have a Rottweiler I need to haul in the back seat and I wouldn't want to see the wood scratched up in the doors. I was thinking of going the high gloss route with the oak wood.

I have heard that nappa is very stretchy and it cracks easily too but its nice to the touch. Although i have perforated dakota now and the seat bottom looks a little bubbled from sitting as well. Thats a good point the nappa might be too soft. Too many options make it very hard to decide.
