Your suggestion/advice on my color combination

For the past few weeks my color of choice for the 550i was the Tasman Green but today I saw one in person a local dealership and was surprised that it was darker than I thought. My wife like bright color so I had to chose another color. Then I went to another dealership and saw for the first time the color Milano Beige Metallic and we both love that color. It is bright and looks very luxurious.

So now we have determined the exterior color but not sure about the interior color. The Milano Beige Metallic has the Venetian Beige color for the leather and although it looks great, it also looks a little monotone because both the exterior and the interior have the "beige" color tone.

So here are the choices:

A)

This is the exterior color with the Venetian Beige leather seats

B)

This is with dark wood trim

C)

This is with light wood trim

---------------------------------------------------------------

D)

This is the exterior with the Cinnamon Brown Dakota leather

E)

This is with light wood trim

F)

This is with dark wood trim


--------------------------------------------------------------

So which interior combination should I get?

I will be ordering it within the next 2 or 3 days.

Thanks.

Go with the combo that you and your wife both enjoy.
You are the one spending day in and out with the lovely car.

Oh, if I have to pick, i will go with "F", because that's what I got.
Either way, you can't go wrong.
And, welcome on board to the F10 family.

I vote for B), cinnamon seems to be in conflict with the milano beige. And the dark wood trim definitely gives a nice contrast to the venetian beige leather.

Both look fine to me probably easier to maintain the darker one but more spacious (if this is a preference) feel in the lighter.

Cinnamon Brown with Milano Beige Metallic totally sucks. The Venetian Beige interior looks much better.

Wow, the suggestion is split in the middle (even with the results from the other BMW forum). Now you know why it is such a difficult choice. Looking forward to more opinions before I make the order in 1 or 2 more days. Thanks folks.

oy - gold on beige is not the combo I'd long for.

But honestly I think cinnamon brown - even though I have it - is the wrong color for a venetian beige car.
