What color interior are Carbon Black buyers choosing?

JGoodell · 01-04-2019, 03:47 PM

Just curious what Carbon Black buyers are choosing for interior color.

I'm on the fence b/w Cognac and Coffee. (Both with Brown Metallic Ash trim)

Black for me

Tartfuo

Black with fineline stripe for me.

paul45 · 01-04-2019, 04:12 PM

Ivory Merino with Fineline Stripe.

Coffee looks very good also but I wanted an airy, open feeling interior and only Ivory has light colored seatbacks in Merino.

I thought about waiting till later this year to get light color headliner also!

Make sure to see them in person, in bright daylight, if possible.

Ivory with matte popular wood

Herb chambers. Got a decent deal but others have posted slightly better deals. I'm within 1k of the best deals I saw posted, which I am fine with as makes minimal delta on payments (I am financing).

That’s who I’m working with. They seem fine once you prove you know your numbers.

Who's your salesperson? Mine was Jing.

Tartufo would be my first choice for the ideal colorway but second place would be Coffee. Anthracite brown poplar as the trim or gloss black to match the other gloss black bits inside.

I had high expectations for the Tartufo but my wife was not a fan.

H0fmeister · 01-04-2019, 06:27 PM

Black with the matte poplar trim. This is my third vehicle in a row with black on black. Just love the look.

puraj83 · 01-04-2019, 07:37 PM

I have the tartufo with fine line brown. Looks amazing to me very rich.

denniss · 01-04-2019, 09:33 PM

Tartfuo and piano wood

How come? Too much orange in it? My wife says it looks like the gym class medicine balls we had back in JHS I thought the reference was spot on but I dig it.

jra0113 · 01-04-2019, 09:50 PM

I have carbon black with cognac on brown metallic ash and I fucking love it. Everyone that gets in it is impressed as well. Here are some pics. It is not orange in real life some of the pics make it appear that way but it's more tan in real life. And the metallic in the ash is beautiful.

MystroX5 · 01-04-2019, 10:31 PM

Carbon Black/Merino Ivory white with Piano black. Ambient lighting is amazing off ivory white and piano.
Everyone gushes when they peek inside.

I think a lot of guys have bypassed Tartufo and perhaps Cognac based on photos that misrepresent the color. I almost didn't go Tartufo because of all the "orange" chatter on the forum, but it is by no means orange in reality.

I agree. Tartufo isn’t orange at all. Pics in general are misleading and hard to capture the correct tone/hue of paint and interior. Carbon Black being almost impossible to get a accurate pic of as it color shifts in almost every light. Pics don’t do it justice.
I don’t find the BMW build pics that accurate as everything looks too flat. Honestly, there isn’t a bad choice in the catalog when seeing them in real life. It’s all about your own personal style.
