          Which color? (interior/ext)

          I thought it would be nice to discuss which color combination would be the best....

          So far my thoughts are....

          FORGET about wood. Comon, guyz! uich: its a SPORTS CAR, more over it has mordern design...
          So, the only choice is aluminium (BMW doesnt offer carbon )

          Which leather? Well, cimamon or some sort of beige is nice but it looks UGLY and unpleasent when combined whith aluminium trim.... IMHO
          So, its either black or grey.

          I would think black is very nice with aluminium, but BORING???
          Grey is a bit wierd for me, but looks calm... and quite nice with alu.

          What do u think about the color combination on the official pics? (ie Int:gray/alu, Ext:silver)

          All the best

          For me its going to be Interlagos/Black/Alu Trim. Would have gone individual but decided against due to delays as will most probably move to M6 when available.

          For me it's going to be Onyx Blue outside with a Cinnamon interior and wood trim of some description (to be decided shortly).

          Wood can look VERY good, it the right wood is chosen with the right leather.

          And I for one am SO glad that carbon fiber is not offered. Look at all the trim that would be covered in CF... doing it all CF would look VERY ricer IMO.

          I agree totally, CF would look horrible and wouldnt justify a car of this price and class. I think wood trim could actually go well but with the right coulour.

          I must say, the colour choices on the new M5 are really disappointing. I mean who the heck wants sepang bronze, it already looks so close to Amethyst Grey which is available throughout the range of the E60.

          Some other hideous interiors to avoid:






          If you can get those, surely you can get Cinnamon which is a standard E46 M3 leather....

          Re: Which color? (interior/ext)

          i agree with u guys that wood looks good with right leather, but (just my humble opinion WOOD + SPORTSCAR = err

          Carbon looks VERY nice in my cayenne s (beige interior/titanium)

          I personally just love the alu trin in m5 (at least from the pictures)

          However, i am in doubt how good it will look with something like cinnamon??
          any ideas??

          Ashok, do u have to wait for the individual to get cinnamon?
