Even if the leather and colors are on sample patchs I would like to see it in person. I was lucky enough to be able to see auburn in person on a white car and decided to order it on a Silver Gray car since I like Silver Gray more...

Pictures dont do Auburn Justice... I think everyone that has ordered auburn or seen it in person agrees... the color is just awesome. You cant go wrong wtih auburn. On any color car.
Well never seen this colour in HK but I have seen it in pic and yes your right Itis awasome, I love it just looking at it in the pic.

Seems like non usa dealers have the color samples. Its these little things that BMW could do to go over the top. Mr sierradelta welcome to the forums, and dont worry the auburn it looks Great. I never heard anybody, who actually got it, complain ...
well not just BMW itis all car non of them have this servies and itis a good thing to see what you get. Chooseing a colour in the showroom for yuor car is like buying on the internet and hope for the best

Agree with you pictures of leather or paint colours can be misguiding.

My dealer has samples of all colours available - but - as I found out even that does not give you the real impression you would get from looking at a car in the same colour.

I'm speaking about Auburn leather - pictures tell you one thing, samples another thing and the car itself - well its different again.

What I did was to ask a couple of dealers whether they had a car available to look at with the colours I was interested in - until I was successful.


Auburn is great by the way
