I really wanted beige leather as I think it looks more luxurious than black or grey and it really brightens up an otherwise dark interior as you get beige carpets and roof lining. Usually it is recommended to have a light interior with a dark exterior and vice versa, so I did hesisate. Anyway I bit the bullet and I'm really glad that I've got it now.
The only thing I'd change is the door cards which are all beige. I think they would look better with black along the top to match with the two tone dashboard. I see that BMW have done this on the facelift where it is black, beige with a full width strip of wood.
I've added the dark poplar wood with the beige leather which I think is the best combination.

Are you thinking of ordering one then?

At work, I park next to the exact color scheme every day and at home, a neighbor of mine has it too and I can say it's my second favorite color combination...

Yes, I am thinking to just take something in stock, which they (this is from several different dealers) offered me:
Jet Black with black leather - Auto Nav PP CA - $56446 (OTD: 8.75% Alameda, CA sales tax)
Jet Black with beige leather - Auto Nav PP - $55700 (OTD)
Olivin Green with beige leather - Auto Nav PP CA Split_fold_rear - $56646 (OTD)
Silver Gray with beige leather - Auto Nav PP - $51665 (before tax etc)
I previously ordered a 530i silver but thinking that they have some in stock so I probably should just cancel my order and go ahead with one in stock
Thats why I am considering Olivin Green but wondering if the car will be hard to sell (let's say after 2 years)

I think its okay. Its also unique. IMHO, beige interior would be mandatory.

I may be wrong here but is it the case that the number of interior colour schemes offered to NA is limited compared to some other territories?
Also someone posted that the only exterior colour in Canada was (a) black.
If either of these is true, what gives?
Is BMW NA unable to allow our transatlantic friends to express themselves?

You don't say where you are in the world, but if you like the colour scheme then you should go for it, however, if you come from the UK and you're buying the car, not leasing, I would give it a miss as future resale could prove a disaster. This may be the case throughout Europe, not sure about the rest of the world. Just my opinion. ![Thumbsup](https://5series.net/forums/images/smilies/imported/thumbsup.gif)
