I believe that perforated leather is only available in beige or black Nevada (at least in the US.)

Tobacco Brown (Hershey choc) looks Amazing with Black Sapphire

I was at the auto show in San Francisco yesterday, they had a sapphire black 08 X5 with a brown interior, it looked great. I asked the BMW guy what color the interior was, he said a new color called "portland brown", it was beautiful.......

BEIGE!!!
BMW offers a very efficient leather cleaner (foam) so you don't have to worry about.

Greetings to Jo´burg,

this will be a "lecker" ride and beige might be a very nice option,
but you will have to get the dark interieur (carpets, floormats etc.)
otherwise you will be frustraed about cleaning the car close to every day.

Have a nice one

Danke, It is a lekker auto. I am not to sure about the mixed colour option. So perhaps all beige and the roof lining is black anyway on the M option, I can put in black rubber mats.

I am thinking seriously beige.

Go for Beige if you like it!

I have a 15month old son now which stopped me going for that particular colour, my X3 has beige interior and

...and forget all the harsh leatehr cleaners..i found that a baby wipe cleans all the marks off the leather a treat! Even the blue dye from jeans wipes of easy! it even gets rid of the crease marks by putting a small amount of moisturiser back into dry leather! try it !

two tone camel and black with light wood.

Beige and gray look awful when they wear with wrinkles.

Hey whoopy-do, when you say moisturiser, do you mean one designed for auto leather or should I raid my wife's handbag?

BTW, I have beige in my 320, and I have not found it hard to keep. I clean it every six weeks or so - but I dont have kids!

Also, I got black mats and I think they work with the beige and the muck on my feet.
