Mineral Silver Interior Color Choice

[shenard]

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 think sand beige goes with any color exterior. My $.02.

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!!! :-)

You saw which color combo? VR and Sand beige or MS and Sand beige?

MS and sand, mate it just does NOT go. The Oyster with MS looks great.
Oyster in the UK is Cream/White. I do hope you see this combo in the flesh FIRST before you order.

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.

Now that sounds much nicer.

Mineral silver reminds me of the Honda Accord gold they used for years.

It is a 20 year old color owned by the Japs.

Space gray, VR, white, black,

I would reconsider MS.

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.
