Oyster is nice if you can keep it clean.
Yeah we saw oyster in person when we test drove an X3 and loved it. But we had always said it would be a to keep clean...especially with a 3 year old. I have heard folks saying even jeans will tint the oyster blue over time. Cinnamon, if more brown would be great as far as keeping clean. Especially since it has the black floor boards and cargo, etc. That makes a huge difference. I think if we go with the oyster we are going to get a custom 2nd row seat cover that will be better for the wear and tear of our son in the back. And then I can just keep the front seats well cleaned, treated and conditioned. The hardest part is that we are overseas, and have very limited options for seeing things in person. Most europeans go with black interior. Not a big market for browns and such.
