Silverstone would be a good match to Carbon Black as well. But then again I will never, ever own a black car again as while they look great when clean they are just too much effort as every speck of dirt shows. So add worrying about your colour choice to your problems as well.

Dravit Grey Ivory White is simply the best colour combination on a BMW.


You are welcome.

I've had many BMWs and 90% of them were BS or CB. I can't own a Grey car, I thi k it's very uncharacteristic. As far as the interior, this is the first time I would have a light interior, normally I go for rwd or brown. My current car is CB on Coffee.

I have seen both of these interiors in person. The white and brown merino leather combo is stunning and definitely makes the car. The solid cognac interior is too much brown for me and fails to impress. In fact the solid cognac looks just like the cognac sensatec in the 4 series. Yes the white may require a little more care but i think it’s worth it.

Well, I'll be sure to post pics...in 6mo or so...these cars take so long. I'm used to 2 month wait in general.

No matter what color you choose it will be nice. And most likely not be the last car you ever will have so just enjoy the process and pick what you like.

That's life, right?!

The ‘23 8C I ended up with, stumbled on it at the dealer lot while test driving a CPO M8 doesn’t have the interior I would have ordered…likely would have been Fiona, but I absolutely love the Night/Black. It’s subtle, but still has personality as I’m not an all black interior person. Most times you need to see an interior in person bc even prior to seeing the Fiona, I never would have picked it either.

Interesting...the night blue has the colored steering wheel...love it...looks like a high end exotic.

I ordered the 850 cab in Metallic white with the Ivory/ night blue interior and a Custom order Blue top. It will be incredible. We previously had an e clas cab with these colors and it was fabulous. Not the sportiest look but definitely elegant and stunning.

I asked if I can get a tartufo headliner...was not an option.

[vencid78]

Anyone else on the interior. What do you have in your GC?

Not on mine, it’s black which I don’t mind. Although the Night would still wear well.

Night is on the inner portion of seats, including headrests front and rear, the clamshell and sides of the console, the bottom of the dash, the door card and the side in the rear.

Here’s some pics, but I need to get some out in the sun where the contrast between the Night and Black is more obvious.

Great that you haven't 100% committed yet . Please take your time. Do not rush. I understand that you personally like that spec but ....it will look terrible after use and with back seats that are usable ....you will be a not very liked friend when passengers try to eat or drink.
BUT !!! Light interior does not look good .. single color may not be too bad?? but , 2 tone looks bad . Silverstone looks great and sporty .

[Bulent Ali]

Dravit grey .. is the car an M850i ? Sorry if I missed it if you mentioned before..
M8 and M850i interior are different spec .

I was looking for any vids with someone in the rear seats and stumbled across this. It's interior color combo you mentioned but with black sapphire. It's not my cup of tea but to each their own.

If you look at the pic from the head of this post, the seats are different...and the bottom 9f the doors are brown. I think your pic is from M8.

Me too.

BTW, notice how they only show her get in and out with the top down? I wonder how it looks top up. And she doesn't look all that comfortable back there.

Positively not my cup of tea at all.

Get what truly makes you happy. Ask yourself if you'd still love or tolerate this interior after 12-18 months.

I would probably lease it, so that should take care off that.

That is correct as the serial options would be Alcantara in ivory white if you wanted that. In some sense it would lighten up the cabin even more and may look nice. Likely no issues on wear and tear unless you have kids that like to touch things with grubby hands or enjoy a good food fight in the back seat while a parental unit is driving.

That said if you truly want a Tartufo Alcantara headliner ask an Individual specialist. It will likely be $6500 as that is what they charged a guy on the M3 forum for custom Tartufo CF bucket seats. Given you said your leasing that may be too steep of a cost for a car you're not planning to keep for the long haul.
