Well, don't have mine yet, but my 545i will have it when it gets here. I echoe above sentiments: other interior colors just seemed too somber, or maintenance intensive, and after black interiors for the past 15 years, I'm ready for a change. I've only seen a couple Auburn interiors in person, but that was enough for me to take the leap and order this as a special combination on a silver gray exterior. I think it looks stunning, sporty and exclusive..something a little different .....and I cant wait!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Ya that was my problem... wanted gray but it was too gray... no two tone mix... so went with Auburn... seen it on a Alpine white car and kind of pictured it with Silver Gray and Said OK we'll go for it.
I wish we had the other color choices in the US...

I like beige....but not the E60 beige.? The only one left that was available in the US was Auburn.? Even though I liked Auburn I was worried that it may be to orange, or that I may get tired of it fast.? I ended up ordering Auburn but I was worried......until I picked up the car....since then I just love it and am SOOO glad I ordered it every time I get in the car.? What truly surprised me is how many compliments I get.? I thought for sure that even though I liked it that it would be too much for most people.? Without exception the first comment I get from people who see my car is how much they like the Auburn interior.? Never mind the car itself, the exterior color, the M-kit, etc.....it's always the Auburn interior that get the first compliment.? I also love the two tone setup with black (even though I would never get an all black interior...I think that hides all the design of the interior and it just all blend together).?
I would highly recommend getting the Auburn over the gray (as well as all other E60 interior colors available in the US).? If you are not in the US then you may also consider the Truffle Brown or the Amethyst, but in the US I would not even give it a second thought.....go with Auburn.

[/quote]All of the interior colors ARE available with all the exterior colors. The Titanium Gray II/Auburn combination is not shown as a "combination" in the E60 brochure or BMWUSA.com, however, the combos that are shown are only "recommended" or "suggested" combos. The dealer and/or the customer can combine any of the interior and exterior colors they want.........as long as both are available in the US (even if not shown as a combo in the brochure or website). What we can't do is pick any colors that are not available in the US (no Truffle Brown or Amethyst for us). Here are a couple of pictures that show the Titanium Gray II/Auburn combo on my car. I will take more pictures in the next few days, but for now these are all I have that show the Auburn:
