Issue with trim colour

[Steved]

My X6 arrived at my dealer and I have a bit of a problem with the trim fitted by the factory. My dealer is contacting BMW to resolve the problem, but it may not as simple as we had first thought.

To save me posting a picture, take a look at the trim in the pictures on page 32 of this eBrochure. http://www.bmw.com/com/en/newvehicle...catalogue.html
I trust you will agree that it looks like quite a light/mid brown wood.

Well I ordered what's described in the UK brochure as 'Dark Ash Wood trim - Code 4BN' and which seems similar to the trim within the this PDF as 'Dark Ash - Code 4BN' (see Page 11 - http://resource.bmwusa.com/Pdf_9aec1...35af904eb.arox )

Now, if you look at the Dark Ash/Dark Ash Wood (4BN) you would agree with me that it's 'dark', darker than the 'Dark Bamboo' trim (4AZ).

Well, after ordering Dark Ash, what's actually fitted to my car looks 'exactly' like the sample in the first link above (i.e. the light/mid brown wood veneer).

As far as I can tell from the various brochures, there is no mid-brown trim available for the X6, so either BMW invented a new trim just for my car, or more worryingly Dark Ash is nothing of the sort, and is in fact a light to medium ash.

If Dark Ash does not really exist (i.e. is a configuration error) then either I live with it (no thanks) or insist that it is changed to Dark Bamboo instead.

I'll let you know what we work out, but if in the meantime anyone else has ordered Dark Ash, I would advise that you go and double-check what you've really ordered. Either the configuration system is wrong or perhaps the trim colour doesn't really exist...
