Next week I will accomplish my order of a 525 but I'm not sure about the interior color. It's Carbon black with M-sport and the Alucube trims. How does Auburn look like with the Alucube? Or is black a better choice. Has anyone pics of the auburn/alucube combination?

hi. auburn will be very nice with carbon black. \i had black interior with my carbon black first and it was way too dark. so i had it changed to terra cotta - similar to auburn but lighter.

pics included

Black/beige (black floor mats) and nice woods would be my number 1 choise.

B/B/B is hot and black/auburn/alu is allright.


Sporty or style?

I feel black leather/alucube is a rather ordinary choice and if auburn/alucube looks nice I think I prefer that. Because I really like the warm auburn color and it will be a little bit special. It would be nice if anyone could bring up some interior pics of alucube trim together with auburn leather.

I have black with beige interior. The first thing I did was to take out the beige floor mats and put black ones in. To me it was a big difference. This is my first black car and my first beige interior. As first I wasn't too sure....now I love it.
