28i in black
These shots didn't come out good enough for me to add to the Official black thread, but in case anyone wants to see some more in black, here they are:

Yup, black sapphire metallic. Was a very bright day, with low winter sun/shade, too much contrast, so hard to get a good shot really there.
Can't remember all the options but it was a 28i, black leather with the sienna trim, panny sunroof, nav, not sure what else... $48,425 Seems to be the common 2 demo vehicles in dealers, Alpine White, and Black Sapphire... with sienna wood trim. All 3 dealers in my area only have these same colors with sienna wood trim. Really wish I could see some more color options for both interior and exterior in real life. |

Cheers for pics
The dealer choices here locally seems to be Mineral Silver with Oyster Leather and Dark wave wood + standard seats. The launch car that did the rounds was black saphire (which cemented my choice) with oyster and dark wave wood + sports seats.

I really love the new X3 in black, and so far I like it the best. I don't even mind the orange reflectors as much when I see it in black; however, it would be very hard for me to keep a black car clean here in the Seattle area as it rains like 9 months of the year and when you drive on busy freeways here it's a constant battle to keep your car clean. From my experience here, Silver seems to show the dirt spatters and build up less and just makes the car just look more dull/less shiney rather than dirty. |

Thinking of changing from oyster leather to black leatehr with the sienna wood trim after looking at these pics (seems more practical with a 20 month old boy who likes dirt!)

All light leather options were ruled out for me for the same reason. 11 months old with plenty of potential to be very messy! Went for alu trim though because I've never been that keen on the wood trims. That said, it works well in these pics.

Yeah I've been thinking about that as well. I like the contrast of the oyster with the black but might be hard to keep clean. Haven't seen it in the new X3 but saw it on other cars at the dealer and it looks pretty classy.
Also, like someone mentioned somwhere in the forum before, the black leather looks great with the white contrast stitching, but how do you keep that white stitching clean? I'm sure it wouldn't be that noticable from a distance, but could be hard to keep clean as well. If kids spill something on it, get a muddy dog trampling on it, or just the years of jeans rubbing against it, etc. I don't suppose they offer black stitching as an option if you wanted? |

The oyster contrast stitching is dark, I know the oyster leather will clean up with some effort (from experience with previous cars) but was unsure over the contrast white stitching on the black leather also (im sure it is some kind of synthetic thread rather than cotton and therefore resists dirt!?) Cant decide on oyster or black now - damn the millions of choices! Sabian - did you get any shots of the rear seats?
