Interior colors for Sparkling Bronze Metallic
Hi Friends,
I ordered Sparkling Bronze Metallic xdrive 35 i with almost every option ticked except Dynamic Handling and M Sports Package. I ordered Oyster Nevada Leather, but now I am considering switching it to Sand Beige. I did not want to order Sand Beige since it is very common. Now, I am debating whether Oyster goes well with Sparkling Bronze. Please help! Tagz |

Agree with Colton, should be fine. Your personal tastes will dictate, tho.

beige changes a lot more than the colour of the seats and it's important to know the difference if considering oyster/beige. I think you can see the difference in what changes colour on the configurator online

Yes, but beige and black also come in leatherette.
I also did some research and found that 90% of the people who ordered sparkling bronze are going with beige. So I wanted to be a little different. I also wanted to choose Mojave or Chestnut as they are listed as "special options" by BMW but was not sure if they go well with SB. I hope Oyster looks good on SB. |

I agree! It's one of those colors. This being said, mine is "plain" sand beige - and I love it!

Oyster works with just about any color, and looks great.
I really like Chestnut, but it can clash with some exterior colors. One tip - NEVER buy a color combination you've not seen with your own eyeballs. I made that mistake and ordered an (E39) M5 with colors from the catalog swatches that neither I or my dealer had seen. It should have been red with a caramel interior. When the car arrived it was some gawd-awful reddish purple exterior with an interior the color of a pumpkin. Somewhere, there is a pimp in Oakland that was very pleased to have that car, but we sure didn't take delivery. |

tagz,
Looks as if you've made up your mind to stay with the oyster interior and I would agree with that. I think the oyster leather seats look great with the dark dash and surrounds. On the other hand, the beige - which other people have already pointed out is an overall biege colour scheme - just looks plain awful in my opinion. We are going with the oyster interior with dark fineline trim with the bluewater exterior. Tony |

I have seen the Oyster on a variety of vehicles at the local dealer and it looks awesome on all of them. There is a coupe with Mohave exterior which is close to the sparkling bronze and it has the Oyster interior (looks awesome). It sounds like a beautiful combination to me; I agree with the earlier posts that the color is a very personal choice though. Good luck.
