I have anthracite headliner and black leather interior. I don't find it too dark as I keep the panorama black cover, not the glass, OPEN ALL THE TIME. In fact, I have to yet to close the black cover in the 2.5 months that I've had my E70. (I should check that it works...)

I'm sure I'll be closing the black cover sometimes in the summer but I would expect the interior to be much brighter so it should not be an issue.
