Silver with Oyster interior?

Am having trouble deciding on the colour of the X6 im speccing right now.

Was tempted by the Space Grey but seeing it in the flesh did not excite me at all. Black is not a colour I really like too much, so I'm tempted to go with Silver (which is what my current X5 is)

However, I really like the oyster leather over black, and every car I've seen in Silver seems to have black leather.

Do you guys think Silver with Oyster would work, or would it be a re-sale disaster?

Any pics of that combination would be fantastic to help me decide also

Well, it wouldn't be a typical production variation would it?

The plus side is, here in the states at least, there have been plenty of M cars that were Silverstone II with Silverstone interior. It is very similar, with a little bit of difference, to the colour combo you are proposing. I have been very impressed with the appearance of these cars. However, be ready to clean, clean and clean that interior. I drove a Silverstone interior M6 at the BMW driving school (for about 2 hours) and there were jean stains on the seats...Be it minor, but to someone who cares about their vehicle, noticeable nonetheless.

As far as resale, I can't help you there. Your market for vehicles differs significantly from ours.

Mineral or Titanium Silver exter'r , See foto from Hartge. matches well w/the OEM or most mag wheels & chrome trim & roofrails & running boards w/ oyster seats( lighter seats make interior look more spacious & charcoal /Dk grey floor carpets ( 2 hide daily traffic & ease of cleaning, just like the brochures fotos.)

IDK... there was a silver on oyster X3 at BMW of cola, but it looked way too 'monochromatic' to me. At least it had contrasting carpet...
