> you get a black dash/carpets and doors instead of the brown as well

Different stroke for different folks I guess. I like the saddle brown color, but personally do not like the large amount of black that goes with it. I guess I'm not too hot on "two toning" color schemes.

I have White with tobacco. I am very happy with the combo. Not as hot as black in the sun. Still hides some dirt. Rich looking IMHO.

I have an 2009 35d Alpine White X5 with the Tobacco leather and Bamboo interior and I love it. I had wishfully built up an X5 on the website, but could not justify the cost of new. A few months later, I found a lease return at my local dealer with 29k miles with more upgrades than I could hope for. The Tobacco is a rare and wonderful interior color. I always get compliments when I offer to drive.

Now to get the full brown of mocha nappa you pay an upgrade if want
the comfort seats. If go with dakota mocha you get black on the dash
instead of brown underneath. Just wish the headliner was tobacco
instead of Black. Why posted if got a 2014 it was going to cost
5K more because would have to go with mocha package and other
features that are in higher priced packages now. Unless go with
bmw individual don't even have a beige or champagne color want.
