Sorry, need to ask again. Is this the tobacco leather? LeMans/Scott any idea?

according to the brochure, HD Radio is available right away.... it does not indicate a delay, as it does with auto tail gate.

night vision should be able to be added on in the future.... it's just a camera and integrates with navigation screen.

According to what I've read on other forums, yes, that is supposed to be tobacco. I will issue a strong caution against accepting this representation as a true one. The brown shades are very difficult to capture accurately in photos. There was a looong thread on E90post trying to get the most accurate photo of Terra. Photos varied from orange to dark brown. You've got to wait until you see it in person.

I think Tobacco should be very nice though. I think it would be my choice even though I've never seen it. Then again I have Terra in my E90 and love it.

I surely hope that the leather shown in the pic is Tobacco. I was hoping that Tobacco will be similar to Terra although it may be more brown than red. Hopefully, if the car is shown in the Paris Auto Show, this Tobacco leather will be used in the show car.

I don't like how it has no door pull like my current X5 (note pull on passengers side)

Oh Ryan, it's not a big deal at all. I actually like it the way it is on the driver's side. The window switches are much easier to reach without an actual grab handle getting in the way.

Someone posted this pic in another forum (http://www.bimmerfest.com/forums/sho...obacco+leather) and say this is the new tobacco leather. OMG, this is horrible! Howcome the real life color is so different from the pic shown in the X5. This is very worrying!

Looks to me the non-professional picture colors is washed out by the camer flash. I bet the color will look more like the bottom picture.

This is tobacco, a shade different from terra . You can see that the X3 pic from autospies has the flash dissolve the true colors. You will like the tobacco.
