Which interior color?

I was at my dealer today and I saw a 335i coupe with the saddle brown interior. I'd only seen pictures of it before, but I really liked it. My order is still in the order bank, so I can change it. I think I'm going to, but just thought I'd get some opinions here first. Here are some pics:


This is Creme Beige, what I currently have on order.


Here's the Saddle:


And these pictures are the Saddle Brown with the Montego Blue exterior I ordered:

the darker the better.. that light interior is going to be a bitch to keep clean, plus, i don't like it

go with the saddle.

Beige is hard enough, but the creme beige on the E92 is very light, almost white. It would be terrible to clean. Also, I love the contrast the Saddle has with the black.

don't you moderators have special powers to make things disappear?

Choose Saddle... much nicer contrast between the dark door and dash trim to the upholstery

With the saddle, I think I'll get the light poplar trim. With the darker walnut, or the anthracite wood, the dash just seems like a huge slab of black. I think lighter wood would break it up.

yeah...that's a good idea to have something break the blackness. also...IMHO...contrasting colors look really nice.

grey headliner
black dash and door trim
light yellow wood
brown/copper upholstery

That's an "Admin" function. I ain't special enough to do it!

You're the only one who picked it too. Nice

I like the saddle, IMO.
Which wood?
edit: duh. Didn't finish reading the posts. I like the grey wood the best overall, but it does look weird on saddle.

I like what you ordered, the combo of blue, black, and saddle looks great!
