It is however, more black than it appears in the photo.

[quote name='ZinMe' date='Oct 10 2005, 12:02 PM']Whatever you do, make sure you look at the Auburn in person.? Pictures don't really capture the color very well.? ? It is a very unique color-- I don't think you'll find another car with anything close to it.
I'm really curious to hear from owners if the auburn changes color over time-- does it darken, lighten, turn more brown and less red??

Auburn to me is really BMW code for "orange". If anything I think Auburn will darken over time, just from the dirt/sweat/residue effect.

Go for black and auburn it will not become darker and I clean it every months.

My Ride: 2006 530 xi, Black Sapphire Metallic, Auburn Leather,poplar grain wood trimi, prem. pkg., prem. sound pkg., cold weather pkg., steptronic auto. trans., front comfort seats, split folding rear seats w/ski bag,rear heated seating, power rear sunshade and manual rear side window shades, park distance control, BMW on-board navigation system and satellite radio.
Sorry to hear you decided against the Black Sapphire Metallic. That's what I chose with the Auburn interior, and I think it's very sharp. I wanted something dirrerent besides black interior and the Auburn is the only interior where you get the two-tone effect, all others have the console and doors matching the seats. I think the black/brown combo is very rich. Good luck !

I have the auburn interior with orient blue. I really like it and I get a lot of good feedback about it from friends.
An interesting story about my local (Toronto) dealer - I bought my used 2004 530i in late August. I first noticed the car on a dealers website who is a 5 hour drive away. I called my local dealer to tell them about it. When he heard that the interior was auburn there was a pause and then he say "maybe you should drop by here first to check that out before you drive 5 hours to look at it". He admitted that he wasn't sure he recalled the colour that well. I think he was worried it was solid auburn in the entire interior.
He dug out a car from their stock and we check it out. Even he was pleasantly surprised by how nice it is.
Cheers.
