New X5 Diesel

I have placed new order 2012 X5 Diesel.
Deep sea blue with oyster nevada interior. I am not sure it would look with this combination. Just wanted to take some expert opinion.

Thanks.

Yeah, that's a good combo and looks great. I'm biased though, as I like oyster in any combo.

Congrats on the new diesel, I can't say enough good things about mine.

No question, it will be one of the best color combinations available, probably the best...just hard to keep clean inside and out.

Very difficult to keep clean. The exterior that is.

For sure one of the best looking combos you can get. But as mentioned, it will be a pain to keep clean. The oyster I have heard shows dirt very easily and even takes on staining from jeans and such. And we also heard the blue exterior is one of the hardest to keep clean and new looking...shows a lot of scratches and swirling.

I got oyster, and already have some jeans stains after 9 months.
The black carpet is also hard to keep clean. But.. if you look at it and it looks clean, you know it's clean - you can practically eat off it. Every spec is visible when it's there.
That's unlike grey or beige - you can avoid vacuuming the carpet for weeks and it would look clean. But you know it probably got an inch of dust.
