Just saw tabacco interior...

and it is by far my favorite hue of brown leather I have seen on the market. I had only seen pictures of it, and was not that impressed. But in person it is a great looking color. The ONLY thing that would make it better is having the two-tone with the black just like the cinnamon and oyster. Personally I think the two-tone should be a separate option for all interiors. So I have to say that cinnamon is probably all but about to be canceled from our order. My wife loves the oyster...but I think it will be a beast to keep clean, especially with a young child. I vote for tobacco despite the monotone interior...at least the dash, wheel, and other portions of the interior would be black to offset it. Any one else digging the tobacco?

The leather color is nice.... It's the pink color I see in the carpet that is the spoiler for me. Color is personal. If you love it, go for it.

Yeah the carpet is a bit much...I really don't know why they don't offer it with the black two tone. I think we are going to go with Oyster and then later down the rode replace the oyster surfaces with a leather of our choice through a custom interior shop.

We have it in our X5 and it's beautiful, classy and doesn't get dirty easily (even with 2 boys who are messy 5 and 6 year olds..)

Do you have pictures of that anywhere on the forum? Would like to see the tobacco combined with black.

This thread is In regards to tobacco and the oyster is notoriously hard to keep clean so I'm guessing Tobacco.

Still, just clarifying. Some people are swearing by the oyster, saying its not too bad to take care of.
