question for all Tobacco interior owners..

Keep in mind you will have a two-toned interior. This is why I opted for black, it is very elegant with an all balck interior. With other colors the backs of the seats and dash are still black, which imo looks cheaper.

This is just my personal opinion, others have different views.

I actually like the two tone.. I opted for the Sports package (among other reasons) because of the back headliner which will make the interior brown and black.. Looking at the BMW Ausie website where you can actually view the interior with bamboo trim, sports package, and my colors.. it looks quite nice, but the photo's on this website I've seen don't look quite as "Dark".

Photographs don't really do the tobacco interior justice. The actual color is darker than it appears in the photos posted here, and a bit lighter than represented in the BMW literature. Helpful, aren't I?

It is a beautiful, rich chocolatey shade...not shiny at all. It's different than the same old black/gray/beige, classy and elegant. Love it! (And we ordered it.)

thanks.. believe it or not, that is what I wanted to hear.. You made my wife and feel better about our choice. Our logic was the same as yours.. we've got grey on one car already, and the tan was bad for the kids in the Volvo.. and the black is simply too black for our taste.
