Guys,
YES! I would like some more opinions on colour. We (my girl and me) have a slightly used Carbon Black 535d (to be picked up tomorrow) - and as crazy as it may seem, we would like to change the colour of the Black Leather interior (komfort Seats) to either
AUBURN DAKOTA (first smaller pic) or TERRACOTTA (2nd pic) (only an option on the BMW X3).
Please have a look at the link to view pictures:
AUBURN : http://images.google.com/images?svnu...mp;btnG=Search
TERRACOTTA : http://images.google.com/images?q=terrac...sa=N&tab=wi
What would you choose?? Your opinion is very valuable to me because i am going to have it professionally changed in 2-3 weeks.

Hey, nice car u got there. Truffle brown looks good too. I seem to be going for the more striking colour though.

Well if you want my opinion i would go for Auburn IF you really want to change; since this black is already looking good no?
Trracotta would be tooo orange and more difficult to keep clean no?

Well i saw this in a 1 series and it looked wicked. Its darker than beige so i think it wont be hard to keep clean.

I've only had my car a week and I may be biased, but Auburn is the warmest and most beautiful color interior in the WORLD!
but decide for yourself...

My Ride: 535d Sport, carbon black, media pack, visibility pack, grey leather, heated seats, sun protection glass, voice control, Eibach ProKit, 19" 166 style wheels, e-maps ECU remap to 325hp and 640NM, top speed limiter removed
I'd prefer the Auburn, as it looks a little red in natural light and would very nicely go with the color of the car.
