F10 color combination suggestions
Hello, I have to do final selection of color on F10 535. Is not easy when I have not seen the car in person.
Interior Right now I have natural brown interior, I love it. My first choice would be to go with cinnamon brown but I have not seen it, there are some photos in internet but it does not look that good. If cinnamon brown does not pan out, I will go to black. I am afraid lighter colors are difficult to keep clean, I have had beige in the past, and even tough it looks great, it shows dirt, especilly in carpets. Has anyone seen the cinnamon brown in person? any feedback? Exterior Space Grey looks like is the best choice, but it will not combine with cinnamon, if I switch to black, then it will be space grey/black. If I stay with cinnamon, then I have to select an exterior color that combines, what do you think about the following combos: 1-Deep Sea Blue/Cinnamon 2-Jet Black/cinnamon 3-White/cinnamon any suggestions? |

Space gray / black will be a classic look, but plan on seeing tons of F10s with that combination. Good luck, looks like you can't go wrong with any of your combinations! |

I've always liked metallic paints. Preference. Both JB and BSM will be hard to keep clean. But I'm up for the challenge. My Jetta is the VW equivalent of Jet Black.

Have you guys seen the cinnamon brown in person? It's not like the e46 cinnamon, which was awesome - this cinnamon is not good. I saw it on a 550GT and immediately changed my mind. Def try and see it first - it's not like most browns. The pic's online are misleading...

Also the anthracite wood trim is a fine choice with cinnamon brown because it clashes with the typical wood trim IMO.

I ended up ordering Deep Sea Blue with Cinn. Brown interior and the dark wood trim. DSB should be somewhat unique at least. Car should get here around early-mid June, I guess.

I'm sure all of these dark exterior colors will look fine with the Cinnamon Dakota leather. I got a swatch of the similar Cinnamon Merino leather for the X5 M and it looks great.
Unfortunately, the spec sheet indicates that vehicles with the Cinnamon Brown leather will not start production until June, so our cars may not be delivered until July. |

Look at the PDF ordering guide in the sticky Official BMW NA Ordering Guide thread in this forum. It shows Cinnamon leather will start production (SOP) in 6/10 for the 535i, although still 3/10 for the 550i.

I think that SOP date is for Mojave Metallic, not Cinnamon Brown leather.

I have cinnamon and I love it. The black with cinnamon is indeed a great combo. I went with cashmere silver and cinnamon. Don't know how I got it, the Canadian website won't let you specify this combination, but maybe because I ordered it before it was available, it happened. I was worried when I ordered it that it was a mistake, but when I first saw it at the dealer, I new it was the right choice for me. Oh and as everyone else has mentioned, this colour just doesn't photograph well, it is more brown than the photo shows.

I wish BMW would just charge and extra 250.00 for cinnamon and include the black headliner for free. |

Black with cinnamon leather, anthracite headlining and anthracite wood (or black piano wood if available) FTW!
