I will note that terra leather (close to auburn) seems to be rather common on the E90 (I'd say 30% of the cars on the lot had terra interior when I visited last week).

So it seems like the Auburn Dakota interior is as rare as I thought...
Strange that BMW would put it into a 525i, of all cars...

I have and I love it. I also love the Indianapolis red offered in the M5, I wish they had that for the 5 Series.

My wheels - 2005 530XI - Olivine Exterior with Auburn Interior... I think it looks stunning... and I get a ton of compliments on the combination...

Hey everyone,
I am wondering if the Auburn Dakota Leather is a rare interior color for the E60? I was reading this site and it says that option code 438 is standard trim on MY2005+ 525, 530 and all 545 models, yet I have a 2004 525i w/ a build date of 06/04. Any clue how this is possible?
Thanks...
P.S. - The picture is from this site, but my car is identical (minus the SMG trans)...

I found my car on the bmw used website. It was in a different city - about 5 hours drive away. When I called the sales guy at MY dealership to let him know I was going to look at it, he insisted that I come into the dealership to look at a new car they had with the interior. He wanted to make sure I knew what I was getting before doing a 5 hour drive to look at the used one. He had to search around the dealership a lot of find one - so they certainly didn't have many. In the end my bride, myself and the sales guy all agreed we like it. But he was worried at first.
Seems rare in Canada.

When I was looking I couldn't find anything... My dealer said they only special order it.
