Changed my order twice to...

BIMMERPOST
     Featured on BIMMERPOST.com
Hi all,

I changed my order to the following...from originally Canberra Beige to black lux seating to now Ivory White with alum trim. I do have a baby on the way and live in NY with snow, slush in winter but really did want to get a lighter interior with black lower and cargo areas.

I looked at the configuration inline and the aluminum with ivory and black looks pretty sporty and nice. Anyone have real pics they can share?

Luxury Line
Space Gray Metallic
Ivory White and Black Dakota Leather
Satin Aluminum Roof Rails
Aluminum Trim
Cold Weather Pack
Driver Assistance Package
Premium Pack
Multi-contour seats
Rear manual side window shades
Space-saver spare

Returning a 2011 x5 space gray and black leather lease. This will also be a lease.

nice choice...
is that comfort seat or standard....cause I imagine the Ivory didn't come with comfort seats...
if you are going for Space Grey, i would encourage you to consider the Mocha leather...very attractive with Grey...it is dark, but on the other hand not to black, and you would also get a bit of freshness in terms of getting away from the traditional black...

The seats are the MC option so will be much better than standard seats. I regularly drive 4 to 5 hrs round trip to my weekend house, so will appreciate the seats for the long ride.

I like the mocha as well, but my wife doesn't like the color. So that really only left me with this option in the end. I do wish they had light colors with black bottom/cargo with ventilated seats. Again...anyone with pics of ivory with aluminum, it would be appreciated.

Thanks

Not an X5 but a new 5-series with ivory and aluminum hexagon.

Thanks and looks good from what I can tell in the pic although it is a little difficult to tell with those pics.

Anyone else have thoughts or pics of aluminum trim with ivory seats?

Hmmm. It worked for me before but doesn't now. I fixed it, try again.. For some reason when you edit it adds "URL" and then doesn't work..

Yes agree it is ivory with black. What I meant is the photo's make the leather look beige. Ivory is nearer white than the yellow effect in those pics.

Thanks all and not thrilled with the aluminum trim, so changed it to the fine line pure wood trim instead. Hopefully no more changes

Expecting a January delivery.

P.S. Anyone in NYC wanting a good deal, let me know as my CA at Life Quality BMW is excellent.

Same for me, I also own an F11 with the ivory/ black interior.

90.000 km and two years old, and the seats still look like new: I was afraid the ivory would get dirty quickly, but clean it with leather care products once a month and it staya suprisingly clean.

I ordered the same color combo on my X5, but with wood trim ( looks better on a pale interior)
