Tobacco Leather

btgx5 · #1 03-27-2008, 08:06 AM

After my '03 4.4 was just totaled....last week I ordered the 4.8 in Alpine White with Tobacco leather. After seeing a bunch of pictures online,it looks to be a sea of brown and now Im now a bit uneasy with my choice. I tried to change the interior to black but the dealer said it's too late b/c its due for delivery the second week of April.

What are people's thoughts on the Tobacco Interior...is it as brown as it looks in photos? Any tips on maybe trying to get it changed?

It's definitely darker than it looks in the pictures. You should check to see if your dealer has an X5 or X3 on his lot with tobacco leather and see for yourself. I love it...

Tobacco is very nice. It will be a challenge for the dealer to sell as it is not as popular as black or beige. Still, it's your car, so if you don't want it, don't be afraid to change it--just realize that the dealer would be within his rights to keep the deposit (but they usually don't)

If you have good relation with dealer and you are not in rush, they can rebuild the car and sell the 1st one to some one else. I have done that in past.

I am of mixed feelings about the Tobacco. But one thing I can say, it is a rather unusual/complex color, with a slight touch of red in it, and the picture/photos cannot and do not replicate it well at all -- you won't know if you like it until you see it in real Life.

Just 2Cts from the back row of the Peanut Gallery, but I love
that combo!

I have an 2009 35d Alpine White X5 with the Tobacco leather and Bamboo interior and I love it. I had wishfully built up an X5 on the website, but could not justify the cost of new. A few months later, I found a lease return at my local dealer with 29k miles with more upgrades than I could hope for. The Tobacco is a rare and wonderful interior color. I always get compliments when I offer to drive.

Now to get the full brown of mocha nappa you pay an upgrade if want
the comfort seats. If go with dakota mocha you get black on the dash
instead of brown underneath. Just wish the headliner was tobacco
instead of Black. Why posted if got a 2014 it was going to cost
5K more because would have to go with mocha package and other
features that are in higher priced packages now. Unless go with
bmw individual don't even have a beige or champagne color want.

I have the Tobacco Nappa leather interior on my new 08 x5. I love it. Looks like chocolate. I've received a number of compliments. Go to your dealer's lot. I'm sure you'll find that color on another car. In the past I've had the beige interior and also the grey, this is by far my favorite.
