The vehicle used for the model in the X5 brochure is Space Gray with Sand Beige, so BMW thinks it goes well.

I have a Space Gray with Sand Beige and like the color combo. The only thing I would change is the wood trim... I went back and forth between the walnut (dark, but nice grain) and light poplar (good color, but didn't like the grain). I ended-up with the Walnut and wish I had gone for the Light Poplar, as the Walnut is just too dark and doesn't give much of a "wood" effect except in bright sunlight.

Basically, the walnut is so dark it sort of blends in with the black dash, giving a two-tone effect to the interior. With the light poplar, you get more of a two-tone with a wood trim transition between the light and dark tones.

But, in the end, it is all personal taste.
