Personally, I don't prefer white since it looks dirty very quickly and scratches are more visible. But its your car so as long as its what you want than enjoy!
I think the headliner is color matched to the interior color.

and,yes, white is easier to take care of,dirt and scratches are not as pronounced/visible as they are on black car (contrary to popular belief).

Not a fan of the bamboo trim - but the white with natural brown leather is going to be a STUNNING combination (IMO). I would probably order the light popular wood trim as a nice contrast the the black trim it sits in and all the black trim in the natural brown package.
Good luck!!
Good luck!!

Wow! I'm not saying white is not a good color, it does look very nice. But my past experience with owning a white car makes me shy away from that color (I don't prefer black either for the same reasons I posted earlier, plus it absorbs more heat).
I honestly cannot recall seeing too many white cars in places I've lived (Southeast, Northeast, Europe).
Just curious, how many of you folks who own a white BMW do the following:
Drive in snow/slush?
Keep it garaged?
