The black/blue stitched seats look good as well, but they add the blue stitching on the dashboard and blue piping on the floor matt which looked a bit tacky to me |

As for the trim, honestly I think a wood trim would go best. I have the dark oak wood because I wanted the combination of wood and gloss for more contrast and a little more umph from the ambient lighting.

I think it's the best contrast for the graphite. I can literally stare it all day, that's how well they look together.
I'm just about a month into ownership and they've been clean so far!

That's great to hear! Looks like Cognac is the way to go.

I have Cognac with Black metallic, and it’s a great combo. I’ve only ever had black leather, apart from the white nappa leather on my M50d which was a huge PITA, and this Cognac leather looks fantastic & very classy.

Thanks for the input! I've had black interiors before too and I guess it's time for a change!

I love the colour, it contrast really well with door cards and goes nicely with silver elements |

I originally wanted Mocha but wasn't keen when seeing it in person and dealer had a 5 series with Cognac (Dakota leather though) and just had to have it, kept seeing photos that looked bright orange before mine arrived but held my nerve and glad I did |

Amazing what you notice, only had it 2 months, the stitching on centre parts of seats are coloured to match leather and not the grey stitch as on outer parts of seats, armrests and door cards
There is also some sort of optical illusion going on with grey stitching, against the black door tops and dash it looks white/light grey and against Cognac it looks dark grey/black but they are exactly the same colour These photos also show how difficult the Cognac is to photograph, both are wrong in opposite directions |

Wouldn't surprise me if they are all the same? Black with Blue is obviously different though |

Sounds like they’re making a lot of work for themselves.. wonder why they don’t just keep the combinations the same, wherever? After all, it’s the same colour leather!
