Space Grey

You should always take interior into consideration when you think about exterior. I have Alpine White with Saddle Brown Leather - many folks are saying it look really cool.

Space Grey looks nice but which interior would you pick?

I would probably pick Cinnamon or Amaro Brown

AW with Cinnamon or Amaro Brown looks fantastic, look at the AW 5.0D that IND did not too long ago on their website.

For me, I go to too many shows and carry around my gear and dog so I need the black leather. Any other color, and you will see the wear and tear right away; plus the dirt lol

Also, I usually shilack my interior with the SpinneyBeck leather conditioner once a month and it stays smooth and supple, and all the dirt and scratches go away.

Honestly I'm tired of black interiors so I decided to go with a brown, didn't really want the red. I'm still dying between the decision of Space Grey or Alpine White though..

Space Grey + Saddle

I too wanted a Space Grey. Then I saw the Carbon Black........wait its Blue.......no its purple. Love the way the lighting and angle changes the color. Very neat. Did not want black, cant keep it clean, but this carbon color(s) isnt that bad to keep clean. As for interior, i went light, with Bamboo, and woodgrain. Go look at the Carbon black before you order.
The M is a blast to drive.
Cheers,

Here are some iphone pictures, they do get the color contrast of the interior, but not the true multi color of the Carbon black.

Nice! Thanks for the pictures, CB looks great. Question; Is it really that bad of a chore to keep it clean?

It is not that bad to keep clean. Better than Black, but does show more than my wifes light silver MB.

Oh, thanks man, I'm really considering it, it's beautiful.

My X6M is space gray with black interior with brushed aluminum trim. I have the ferric gray 21" wheels (I think model 215) and I have the blacked out grills. I also swapped out the orange front markers for European clear ones. The car is very mean looking without being too over the top yet remaining very high end. An alpine white exterior goes a completely different route yet still amazing looking. The suggestions here for matching interior and options are really good ones.

AW but M = Carbon Black

Im sorry Jumppy but i cant help but think that asking a forum which color is better is asking for 30 different opinions. Everybody who owns one of the colors will tell you theirs is the greatest and everyone else will give you their personal preference. I just dont see how any of these type of threads help a potential buyer in making such a subjective personal decision. Good luck with your decision. I know theyre not easy but its just such a personal thing. I suggest spending time with the real colors in person. One of them will start to appeal to you more than the others.

Space grey! Easier to maintain you will need to wash your car less and it looks better in my opinion which is of course personal and more subjective. Red interior is just too red, two days ago i sat in one x6m lci with red learher, it was just too much for me.

[JumppyJA]

Thanks for the opinions guys, I'm probably gonna go with Carbon Black actually. I was actually going to switch to the M5 but with our bad roads it would be a dreadful experience so I stuck with the X6M.

[v8888vx6]

black for sure

[giants84]

The car looks great in all colors, you really can't go wrong with any.

Space Grey + black out = WIN
