Interior Colors and Trim Thread

nonagon · 01-09-2011, 05:17 PM

After seeing that the Chestnut Nevada leather color interior looks very different in real life than in the configurator on bmwusa.com, I was wondering if people could post to this thread some real life photos of the new X3 interiors, focusing on leather colors Oyster/Chestnut/Mojave. I've not seen any real life photos of the Mojave...also some shots of the Siena/Wave/Aluminum trims would be great. I'm sure it would help many people with their decision-making, not just me...thanks in advance!

Here's a Chestnut pic from another thread:

I would love to see more pics of mojave and chestnut…just don't have a good grasp of what they look like in real life!

So chestnut is red?

A little bump here for some REAL WORLD interior colors.

Anyone take delivery and able to post some pics?

Thanks from all the potential owners!

Here are a couple of shots of Black Nevada, taken the other day at my dealer:

Keep those interior color pics coming if you can! Many current and future orders depend on it!

Nahoa · 01-22-2011, 08:09 PM

I like the black. Prefer the warmth of dark wood trim over the aluminum.

fedinand · 01-22-2011, 08:12 PM

The stitching really helps the black look better.

Nahoa · 01-22-2011, 08:24 PM

Big fan of the stitching!

I agree. I changed my order from Black to Havanna, but after seeing some IRL pics of Havanna, and then seeing Black IRL, I went back to black...

Some pictures without using a flash

Thanks for the pics! How do you like the X3 so far?

X3amb · 01-24-2011, 09:41 PM

We like the X3. I am disappointed with the light steering. I am still trying to get used to the iDrive after having the '07 X3 with NAV for 3.5 years. The acceleration is superior to the '07 X3 which had a lag problem.
