Another long time lurker and first time poster. I know color is a subjective thing, but I am driving myself absolutely crazy trying to decide and would love some fresh opinions! I'm certain I want the the mocha leather with the brushed aluminum trim, but am going round in circles over the exterior. Any opinions as to which color would look best with that interior? I think I'm between mineral white and glacier silver, but...I also like the sparkling brown. I'm worried it might look too monolithic with the mocha leather, and I'm also kinda OCD and I think the swirl marks and such might drive me crazy. Hoping I can get some help making up my mind as I have only until tomorrow to make changes to my order! Ugh!!!

Glacier, it's timeless. Here's glacier on an F15 M Sport:

Do you think the brown interior would look ok with the silver? I've never seen that combo before.

[clivem2]

Mocha would be great with Silver and AW. Not convinced by brown and brown though.

I have a xline on order in mineral white, with mocha and fineline anthracite. After I ordered, I found this link with pics of the exact config - scroll to the right and left for more pics.

Thanks! I wish I could see it in person. I like it in pictures, but am worried it will look to "pearly" in person, which is why I am undecided between that and the silver. I'm driving myself crazy over this and have to make up my mind by tomorrow....

[luckystrike]

sparkling brown is a nice color but i dont think it will look good in mocha its like wearing a brown shirt a brown shoes and a brown belt with khaki pants . , i had also the same dillema as yours between carbon blue and alpine white for my m sport , but if your priority is the mocha interior i think the mineral white or any dark colors is the best., but for me mineral white would be my personal choice.

To me, its not pearly at all. Looks white with some sparkle. Nothing like the Lexus pearl white....

[bounderboy]

I had the same quandary... defo agree on Mocha..

I was white all the way but because I am keeping it for four years I was worried it might go out of fashion.. so in the end went for Sapphire Black.. Hoping black and brown goes..

Admittedly I have though seen the sparkling brown in a few owner photos and looks amazing.. but again worried it might be fashionable rather than classic..

Though at the moment with a later April order and delivery expected December it would take a pink one at the moment!

When you see these pics Sparkling brown looks soo tempting.. the X-line in the UK comes with 18inch wheels not 19inch like other territories - hope they don't look too much different

[Karrint]

Yeah, I had the same concern about the mineral white being trendy at the moment but maybe not great when I go to sell down the road. I know the silver is classic and easy to maintain, but again, I'm not sure it would go with the brown interior? The sparkling brown paint is quite striking....

[BMW-X]

I have an Xline with Mineral White Metallic that I pick up on the 19th of July from Welt in Munich, I will post some pictures so you can see it. I absolutely love the way the color looks in the sun, and feel it would look great with the Mocha interior!

Has anyone seen a glacier silver exterior with the mocha leather interior? T minus 12 and I may just have to flip a coin. Yes, I am THAT indecisive

I've seen it on an F25. IMHO- Glacier doesn't really clash with anything.

[Karrint]

I thought silver was pretty neutral, too. I mentioned putting the mocha leather with that exterior and the salesman shook his head and grimaced and said "black is best with silver, I wouldn't do brown." Guess I just need to choose what I want and ignore him.

[SC]

I don't think you can go too wrong with any available color combination.

I love the mocha interior, and agree it is the way to go. However I had to go with red.

[Kermit]

After being inspired by the blue piping inside my otherwise brown trousers (seriously) I went Deep Sea Blue with Mocha. Pick her up next Wednesday. #excited.

[Karrint]

The red is really pretty with the xline.

Mineral white (stock photo--have yet to see in person)

And glacier silver (at dealership)

[Karrint]

Silver...

[LeeAC]

I have a 2014 X3 deep sea blue w/ beige leather interior which I love, but if I were redesigning - I'd get the white XLine with mocha

[eldo33]

i'm all +10000000 for any color other than beige/black interior (boring zzzz) Mocha is a great color with any exterior color combo.

Yes, I'm excited about the mocha. Think I'm leaning towards the glacier silver now??? I have a couple more days than I thought I did to decide, so that is a good thing! Who knew it would be this hard....
