This is my Individual Merino Champagne interior.






I have to be honest. The interior gets dirty rather quick. I've bought a leather interior kit from Swissvax to keep it nice and clean.
Especially if you wear jeans you will see the seat get a little gray/blue after a few weeks.
With the swissvax interior kit you get a cleaning fluid and a brush. I spray the fluid on the seat and brush all the dirt off really easily.

Wow, that is easily one of the nicest interiors I've seen yet. Amazing stuff. What wood is it?
BMW North America should be ashamed to produce such a beautiful car right under our own noses and then whisk is away never to be seen again. Completely ridiculous.

That is one gorgeous interior, enjoy it in good health! I want the brown individual on the 2011 X I have on order but it would cancel the third row seat! Damn it!!

The interior trim is Walnut Amarone.

I shot some extra pictures to give a better idea of the color.






This is what I found in the BMW individual brochure I have (I hope you find this an interesting read):
"BMW Individual wood trims are handpicked. Obviously, only a small number of wood pieces can live up to the expectations of our craftspeople. This is all about selecting the perfect grain. All woods have been treated in an environmentally friendly manner. Depending on the type of wood, there are subtle differences:

For our Walnut Amarone finish, we use trunk wood to ensure that the linear structure of the wood is retained, creating an interesting contrast."

Regarding the Merino leather:
"Greater comfort thanks to soft surfaces and open-pore texture. Our BMW individual Merino leather is saturated in pigments during a special vat immersion process which makes the leather soak up the colour. This process allows us to do away with additional treatments where colour layers are applied to the surface of the leater. Dying the surface with chemicals - a common practice with other types of leather - is not necessary. And since our Merino leather can do very well without these secondary treatments, it remains soft and supple.

Another distinguishing characteristic that sets our leather apart is one you can feel with your hands: thanks to not over-treating it, our Merino leather retains its porous structure. Which means it can be compared to a breathable fabric in that it absorbs body moisture.

Did you know that the exclusivity of the BMW Individual Merino leather always starts with the painstaking selection of the right raw materials? The reason: our Merino leather retains its natural grain. We do not believe in embossing patterns onto the leather in rolling machines. Working with the natural qualities of the leather means that we can only use immaculate skins that are free from damage and blemishes. This makes for a very strict selection process."
