Mineral Silver Interior Color Choice
Do you guys think Sand Beige Nappa seats with Dark Bamboo would look ok on Mineral Silver?
I have Vermillion Red ordered with Sand Beige Nappa seats and I am torn between the two colors. |

My personal opinon is the sand beige is to yellow for Mineral silver..BMW used to sell alot of 635CSI's in Mineral Silver / Oyster Leather...Slightly washed out, But it was Very Very nice.My Aunt had one and I always thought it was beautiful. The only other interior that you could put with Mineral is Black...( Just my opinion )

I agree, beige is fine in most colors except silver.

shenard, You know I REALLY like Mineral Silver! I'll need to make the same decision you are ( VR or MS) in about 11 months when I place my order.Very tough call.I've had cars of about the same shade as VR and MS....Red Caddy SRX ( embarrassed to admit I owned one) and a bronze G35.Liked both colors.I think VR is the WOW color,look at me....MS is just not as splashy...maybe a smidgen classier!!!!????? I don't think you can go wrong w/ either color.I would like your interior pick on either car....I can't deal w/ the dark interiors...to hot for me.Thanks.PalBay

Oh decisions, decisions! I am kind of on the same page as Palbay and do not really like black interiors due to heat in Dallas but really think I like the MS and it would be very easy to keep clean. Still having a hard time wanting to change from VR because it is so unique. I really like the Sand Beige Nappa seats but just not sure if they will look a little blah and blend in too much with MS

Eventhough the 35i model was introduced with VR, i think its going to be a way too popular color. Go with Mineral Silver!!! :-)

I didn't think it would go either which is why I am sticking with VR and Sand Beige Nappa. I just hope I don't get sick of the red after a year or two.

It is a 20 year old color owned by the Japs. Space gray, VR, white, black, I would reconsider MS.

I have seen vr and ms with tan interior......
The Vermillion Red with Tan interior is decadent. Gorgeous.
I saw and X6 in Mineral Silver with Tan interior and that looked great too. I personally like contrast, but I'm sure the Oyster would look good with MS too. I did see a Vermillion Red with Chestnut interior too -- yuk. |

I had my SA put fill out paperwork for Mineral Silver with black. I really liked the color. But, when I went in to finalize my order and place my deposit, I changed my mind. For me, MS looked really classy, but just a bit too conservative for the X6 - or at least for my build with 20" rims and the full sports package.
I ultimately went with titanium silver and chateau. I'm very happy with it. Even though silver is incredibly common, it isn't a common color for the X6. And, I like the chateau contrast.
