I've got jet black on black interior and i simply love it! It does look very sporty!
Good choice! The only drawback is during the summer when black seats tend to heat up more than the average during hot sunny days!

i do get alot of looks with jet black. and black interior... especially just washed and waxed..... it just stands out.... in my opinion.... although other colors do have their advantages....

Well, no question black exterior is classic. When it's new and clean it looks fabulous. When it's not, it's not. Inside, BMW's seem to be designed to go well with black. Personally, I'd find the black/black combo a bit much. I'm probably going with TiGrey/Black/Anthracite.

Be prepared to wash your car twice a week if it's black

FikseGTS,

Nice pic I personally like the interior of my rides to be BLACK!

I can't help but notice the 3 yellow/white labels on the visors and below the glove-compartment, are they required by law? They spoil the look of your ride's otherwise impeccable interior

The poplar is a nice contrast. I have it. I actually ordered the anthracite, but it came in wrong. The poplar looked great, so I kept it. I have seen a 6 series with the triple black, and it was awesome. It is a great combo, but it is hard to go wrong.

My Ride: 545i - ordered in January delivered April 21st! Black Sapphire Metallic, Black Dakota Leather, Anthracite Maple.

I had second thoughts when I ordered that combination but I guarantee you, you will love it. Add a dark tint and it looks evil.

I have a few pictures of my interior but FikseGTS pic is the best I have seen.
