Interior color change any thoughts??????????

I have on order Saphire Black 3.0sd Mpack perferated comfort seats for april delivery.Most extras as well. The only thing I am still debating is changing the interior from black to beige/sand. I do prefer the beige but worry about spoiling the seats with blue jeans. Would that drive me crazy. No kids to dirty anything else. PLEASE HELP. The beige does look regal with the black. Please help me decide. My current ride is a leaking space gray e70 3,0d with black interior. Coments please.:co nfused::ro fl:: rolleyes: good advise is urgently needed.

I've had beige in my X for the last 4 years and wear jeans almost exclusively. Although the driver's seat does show a bit of wear, I don't think it would be any different if I drove naked all the time. If that's what you like, go for it!

Go Beige... does not mark that much and I just give it a clean regulalrly with some Lexol.. Beige IMHO looks great as the seat backs match the leather rather than a contrasting colour with other combos..

beige looks the best...... getting the space gray is what caused me to get the black instead of beige interior...(wasn't too crazy about the gray w/beige)

IMO Tabacco is well matched with the rest of the black interior trim.
I believe it is one of the colors (with black, grey, beige) that is color matched with the carpets and most of the interior panels.
I have the sport package in order to have the roof liner and pilars in black,
I was very fussy about the roofliner/pilars/panels being available only in grey and beige to match with other colors (ie. saddle brown; nice color)
There is only tabacco, black and dark bamboocolors flowing though my X5 interior.

I was getting tired of all black interior (to common).
It was great to have it customize in the my X5

LOL... Doubt it, but if it happens, I am happy, I got what I wanted.

I think if anything BMWNA will make saddle an official color listed on the web as well as a simple code for the dealer when placing an order on the computer.

I still dont get why they dont offer it by default although love my X being unique.
