Dakota Leather Color
Just curious if anyone has real pictures of what Terra brown Dakota leather looks like. In the configurator it looks like a very dark brown, I currently have an x5 with tobacco leather which is what it looks like, yet when I Google it to get real images I get all these light orange-brown leather colors. I'm thinking about pairing it with EBII on an M235 so I need to know if it is indeed a dark brown or not.

Do you think it would pair ok with EBII or is it too light in you opinion?

Hi, you can find some interiour pics of mine in this thread. Colour is oyster on oyster. Very light, creates a nice atmosphere in the car but is fairly high maintenance.

It would go very nicely with EBII.

i saw it today in person.
In the darkness, or cloud, it looks like the photos. A darkish brown, although not too dark. In the sunlight, it has a more redish orange hue to hit. Considering this color for my EB M235i as well did terra change over time? The following is tera brown but looks nothing like the color in the M235i configurator

Yes Terra changes with models. I had it on a 2004 X3 and it looks like the photo above which was really orange. Just like Beige it varies in different shades even within BMW. I want to order Terra, I have saddle now on my E93 335 and hope it has about the same color. It's really hard to tell in photos but my X3 looked like a pumpkin it was so orange.

Terra
I've got terra Dakota on my 128i. It is hard to photograph. In person it looks like a cross between a football and a basketball, although certainly more brown than orange. I love it and would definitely buy it again. I think it would go fine with EB, or any blue for that matter, but I would want to see it in person with any red before deciding, due to its slightly orange cast. The perfect match IMHO would be with metallic brown.

Agree completely with above. I have the Terra in our 2010 AW 128Msport, and it leans to brown side, not reddish. Its dropdeadgorgeous. I am first on list with out dealer, for the M235, and it will be AW with Terra. I will wait for the build web site to come on, and do some comparisons though. Even then the web colors are not always accurate...but good enough to tell. Hopefully.

I have Terra on my current 128i Coupe and it looks exactly like the first picture shown on this thread, kind of a medium brown with a bit of red in it (NOT orange). Goes very well with AW and after 3 years owning the car, I am still liking it and never went bored with it (I think I would have grown tired of Coral Red).
By the way what is EBII?

IMHO hate MW I have an AW e70 x5 with tobacco interior and I LOVE it never like how MW was off white and shiny, like how AW is bright white, after all if I'm getting a white car I want it white not cream off white with metallic in it. Anywho I already ordered my M235i in estoril blue with black dakota and hex aluminum trim with the EB trim finisher, figured black would look better with the blue finisher than brown.

Has anyone got any pics of this damn Terra in an M235i to see if it is dullish brown or has some orangish pop to it like saddle brown? Albeit not too orangish... I guess I prefer something closer to the saddle brown?

not that I have seen, if you are waiting to see it to order then I would say your going to have to wait until people here or dealers start getting their cars in. Otherwise it would be a blind order I guess.

OK gang... finally had a chance to see this Terra in an X5 indoors. It is a rather nice brown - not orangy at all. I suspect in the sunlight it will liven up a bit, which is a good thing - perhaps a slight reddish hue - but that's a guess, but no sign of orange or dreaded burgundy. Although there is no question the colour can vary by dielot, and I think I still prefer the lighter saddle brown, the Terra is definitely a nice colour, and IMO a much better alternative to black. A black interior is probably fine for red or EB.
