Is Saddle Brown The Same As Terra?

reelgr · 01-05-2009, 10:06 AM

I am about to place an order this week on a 335i sedan and saw some photos in the photo forum of a terra interior... I assume this is saddle brown in the US?

Could be the chesnut though?

Anyone have any pics?

I will go Jet Black on exterior.

Thanks

Does Saddle Brown Sound Like Terracottta Interior? Hmmmm, No It Doesnt That Is Because They Arae 2 Different Things, Saddle Brown Is Dark Brown, And Terra Is Orangy Light Brown.

Saddle brown is different than Terra.

Saddle brown = Lighter base (Base yellow)

Terra = Dark base (Base brown)

Terra is superceded by chestnut for the LCI models (albeit not quite the exact same tones but mostly similar). Saddle first debut in the E92/93 is more brownish or natural brown in color.

i just searched some more and see that terra is not offered in 2009...

reelgr · 01-05-2009, 10:13 AM

ok cool.. im going to have to find one in person and take a look...

You have that backwards. Saddle is light brown.

Plus doesnt Terra and Chestnut look almost the same yet they have totally different names as well.

I had saddle in my 335i and loved it. Now i have Terra and its nice. If I had the choice it would be saddle for sure.

BK · 01-05-2009, 12:42 PM

mwarsh1 is right. Terra is a bit "orangy" while Saddle is a purer brown.

mwarsh1 · 01-05-2009, 12:45 PM

saddle brown, looks great with monaco blue, i am not a fan of terra.

addy85 · 01-05-2009, 12:46 PM

mwarsh1 · 01-05-2009, 12:46 PM

this is coming from the guy who wondered why he couldnt get traction in his 335 on summer tires in the snow

mwarsh1 · 01-05-2009, 01:09 PM

in a .25 inch of snow, you would expect to get traction when ia 3550 pound car is sitting on top of these tires, that have 100% of tread jerk off!

Kamando · 01-05-2009, 01:12 PM

This is a fairly accurate picture of what Terra looks like from my 06 330i.

Crazy Bimmer · 01-05-2009, 01:13 PM

Terra on my 328

Saddle on my 335i

Crazy Bimmer · 01-05-2009, 01:18 PM

hmm thats not a fair comparison, here is saddle with overcast

akack79 · 01-05-2009, 01:31 PM

Regardless, can't go wrong with either interior, both look nice.

LI E90 · 01-05-2009, 01:48 PM

since terra has gone the way of the dinosaur for 2009.....where are the pictures of chestnut

rsyed · 01-05-2009, 02:06 PM

check out my pics on my car:

Chestnut is brighter than terra - i would rather put it this way: terra is dull compared to chestnut - chestnut is more like fox red...
