Interior color decision???

Hey there,

I am having a hard time deciding on which interior color I should choose for my X6M.The exterior has been decided. Alpine White. I truly believe that this color best shows the lines on the vehicle during all weather conditions.

I have narrowed it down to two colors, full cinnamon merino and full silverstone merino.

I will be basing my decision on the outcome of the voting.

Please pick the color and reason why.

Thanks in advance.

Although I like silverstone, my preference is cinnamon - it seems to have richer look

black on black.....dude......simple...sleek....no other colors mixing in...keeps things streamlined.......you can change accent colors like trim to anything with a black interior...and it will still look good....too many different colors detract from the whole scene...one color exterior, different color interior, different color dash, different color trim.....too busy

I agree Black on Black is a very sharp look however doesn't work for me
as I am always bombing down dusty roads. My detail shop loves
it when I buy black vehicles as I end up dropping it off once a week.

Okay. Let's simplify and see what everyone thinks the best interior color
would be for the Alpine White?

Colour is a personal thing. I don't think there are any right or wrongs.
But black Nappa leather with brushed aluminium trim would be my choice.
This is a nice contrast to White body.
Nice simple and clean and quality look.
The aluminium trim breaks up the black nicely.

However if forced to choose between silverstone and cinnemon I would pick cinnemon.

ronald_adi,

Since this is destined for Canada we were only given two options, brushed aluminum and black carbon leather.

I would choose the carbon leather.

Black and Black looks awful... its a childish color combination for those who don't have a proper understanding of color/weight/texture distribution and pantoning. I am so sick of people here getting black on black cars cause they think it looks gansta, or cool, or government. It looks like ass.

a bit harsh. but well put. Having said that, you must admire how tastes vary between people. There is no correct rule, just a more general consensus.

Well since folks are putting out their money I believe they can express themselves any way they want. After all “Beauty is in the eye of the beholder”.

I am also in Toronto and I could never live with a colour as light as Silverstone. It would be too much of a hassle to keep it clean from the winter, and from jeans in summer rubbing off on the seats. The Cinnamon looks beautiful! I was going to go with it but ended up taking the boring black on black instead

Okay!

First I would like to thank all of you who have given your color choice.
The decision has been made to stay with the cinnamon interior.

What first initiated this question was my dealer called to let me know that they had an AW with the SS interior just come in. I went to look at it, as pictures do not do it justice in anyway and started to think that the rarity of the color combo would be better. It's just as 'dmlgc' said “Beauty is in the eye of the beholder”. Since most of you have chosen the cinnamon interior I thought it would be better for the resale value to keep it this way.

In case any of you haven't seen it, here is a link of the AW w/ CM interior.

Here in Canada we cannot track our order on line so we need to believe the dealer to when we can expect it. Mine is due sometime in April. Sooooo excited!

Good choice you made as blk on blk is so 1990's.

Now blk on red would of been even hotter.
