Barry,
I agree...great color. I'm sick of black leather after having it so often.

I liked the Terra Cotta too, but this new "tobacco" or whatever its name is, is great.

Wonder where the driver side door pull went?!

Yeah your right. Where's the driver side door pull?? Strange. I was thinking of looking at something different in a few years but if this is truly an accurate represantation of the product then it's gonna be hard for me to resist. OOps I forgot to add that if they offer a Diesel it's a done deal.

I'd say done away with in order to better access mirror and window controls. Just a guess.

Could be. Is it my imagination or does the front windshield look larger.

As note before, the driver side door pull is gone for better access to the power window switches, but there is a place to grab the door on the left door driver's arm rest....Just look at the current E90 3-series sedan....they did the same thing.

My '04 Audi S4 was the same way...the drivers side armrest was flat and the passenger side had a little kickup with a pull handle.

Is that the E70? If so, they finally changed the break where the interior color meets the dash. I couldn't stand the old way, where the bottom of the dash was the color of the interior. If you had a light color interior the break was so drastic.

That is beautiful. It looks very sophisticated. The wood is also a beautiful color. I was worried that with the E70, they would ruin the interior and make it like the X3's interior-all plastic, very little wood.. But they did an excellent job.
