The colors outside US is called Red Brown, unfortunately dealer has no samples. Below, the first pic is Chestnut (US) and 2nd pic is red brown(outside US)

They are both made on the same line so they are almost certainly all the same leather colour (chesnut and red/brown).

Im sure the difference in the photos is lighting??? (they do look very different)

Shocking that none of the dealers seem to have leather or trim samples

So bimmer uk 76, what do you think of Mineral silver with red brown seats with Aluminium trim or dark wood.

fedinand · 01-13-2011, 04:53 PM

Looking at where the trim is on the door, I don't think you will have any issues with the seatbelt buckle hitting the aluminum trim it when it retracts. The trim is much lower and longer on the E92 so the buckle hits the trim a lot.

Not my first choice but think it looks good, it is difficult deciding

Im still stuck between Oyster and Black leather with Sienna Wood

At least I have sat in a X3 with oyster leather but I still cant decide

X3amb · 01-13-2011, 04:59 PM

I took the pictures with the flash on. So it's probably lighting.

Bimar · 01-16-2011, 11:19 PM

I am persuaded this is the REAL unadulterated Red Brown color and it looks sweet. True X3amb?

sfax · 01-17-2011, 01:59 AM

Looks much better with no flash. Would be good with Alpine White and probably mineral or titanium silver too but still a little too red for me

Weird. There are basically three different colors here on this thread for the 'same' color.

Still, it seems to be much more red than the bmw website, regardless of which picture you look at.

Confident that the above photos represent the production color? Aren't they from the very early prototype photos series? (Based on the covers on the dash and door panels.) Maybe the color changed as they moved to production?

of the 3, the pre production looks to be the one shot without flash in a normal lighting setting IMHO. If you look at the newcarnet review at http://x3.xbimmers.com/forums/showthread.php?t=443380 its this color in the video which i have attached a piece of it below, though not as clear and another sample andanNEWLY posted pic from one of the members who just loaded his photos.

So my dealer tells me my car would go in production in feb so now I think I'm leaning towards the chestnut/ fine line.is it more red or brown? How does it compare with the terra from the e90? more red or more brown?
