Right now I have a color similar to space gray and in the 13 years I've owned it - it has never looked dirty in the least. Very forgiving. Titanium silver can't be that bad either... I went for white this time around and hoping for the best but I know it will need some work (and so will the front rims anyway). As for the interior, the sand beige would be the only color I'd stay away from... even the test drive model's sand beige interior looked dirty.
BTW, chalk up another successful saddle brown order placed - it now shows on my owner's circle.

I have a 2001 330i with a black interior (and black exterior) that looks almost new despite having 2 young kids. My wife has a car with a light silver interior that looks like hell. The best thing about a black interior is that dirt and spills and stains don't show up like they do on a car with a light interior. Also, marks on black leather can be covered easily with a black marker if they can't be removed in the first place. Dust may show up a little more, but that is easy to wipe off.
Two of my friends got their new Lexus's with black interiors based on how well my black interior held up compared to their old car's light beige interiors, adn they are quitre happy. With a light interior, I think it is harder to hide dirt and spills that accumulate over the years. Just my opinion. Some people just prefer teh look of a light interior, which I understand. |

Things I factor in when choosing colors-
Size & type of vehicle (some colors are just wrong on certain models) Where I live - weather conditions Climate - Kids/Pets/or adults only car ? What colors I have had previously (happy or time for a change?) To answer your question, I think the combo sounds great. It's your car so ultimately you need to be happy with what you want - Let us know what you decide |

I ordered black with sand beige. I love Titanium Silver. However, I don't like the black plastic trim and the way it looks with the lighter colours. That is why I went with sapphire and sand beige. I love the contrast. So much so, that I am probably going to trade my 07 530i on a Carbon/Natural Brown 09 550i later next summer.

Gotta tell ya, I had a black 330i with saddle tan interior which I loved. So much so, when I ordered my 2007 3.0 X5 I ordered it in all black, interior & exterior. But at the last minute, I switched to titanium silver exterior & black interior -- and haven't regretted the decision a second. It's stunning in those color combinations. Go with your instinct!

I have the Black Saphire with the Sand Beige. It's hard to keep the black clean, but I love the way it looks. My last 3 cars had a black interior and I love having a light color again.
