Need help on interior color choice
Ordered an X5 on Monday evening. Space grey exterior. Love that. Ordered the mocha interior against my better judgement but was told the canberra beige could be a problem if you wear blue jeans. 3 days later I'm still ruminating about the mocha choice with the space grey. Now I'm even thinking that maybe I should consider the mineral white metallic with the mocha interior. (My husband is against the canberra beige) Any feedback would be appreciated.

Color choice is always going to be subjective, but I absolutely love the mocha interior with the orange stitching on my new X3. I have a carbon black exterior and it goes very well with it.

One thing I liked about the beige interior is when you order it, the lower half of the dash also comes in beige. For the X3, that's the only color also picked up by the dash (unless they changed it this year.) It brightens up the interior and I think it looks better. All other interior colors get an all black dash.
Our 2013 is space grey and beige inside. I think BMW's leather is pretty durable and easy to care for. All I ever do is wipe it with a damp cloth and at 35000 miles, the leather looks almost new. |

It really comes down to personal preference. Personally I like to have a nice contrast in color with the interior. My X3 is Alpine White and my interior is Ivory White. The inside of the BMW already comes with a lot of dark accent colors so the white leather pops pretty well against it. The only pain in the butt about the Ivory white is that if you wear blue jeans, the color does rub off. That can be simply removed with a good leather cleaner in a matter of seconds. The mocha color is really nice though.

I think the only colour that really looks good against the grey is the black. I have the space grey but have never really liked it....its too light and a bit dull.

I'm hoping Saddle will be good with SG.
