Don't think I do, someone had to buy it initially, to enable the seller to sell it!!!
Not necessarily.... which is my point.

Your original question was " Did anyone in UK ever buy Auburn?".... The answer is "yes" as displayed by my posting..... I await your response.

In my fantasy world, the now discontinued auburn was so unappealing to UK buyers that no-one ever bought it.

In this fantasy world (you know - the kind jokes can originate in) maybe, just maybe, the car you found is one that's never been bought by a paying customer and has been reduced in price over the years... trying to get rid of it.

Reminds me of the Harrods Sale. If something doesn't sell then they just keep raising the price until it does...

Confused? You will be after the next episode of "Auburn" - it helps to have a few bottles of what I'm on too!

So the facelift has a new leather option 'Natural/Nature Brown'.
It is supposed to be available of the 7 series currently but I can't find any good pics.

The only pic I have so far is from the configurator but the image is poor quality
Anyone have any real pictures of this leather, I'm curious...

I don't have any pics of an '08 E60 but you should be able to find some E46's with Natural Brown leather. Based on your pics it looks the same.

I perfer two toned color interior so my '01 E46 had Tanin Red leather and I loved it. Orderd my '04 with Natural Brown and although much more suble than Tanin I enjoyed the change. My '07 E60 will be here next month with the Auburn. As with the Tanin and Natural Brown, I ordered Auburn sight unseen.

Don't worry guys.....I'm not in the UK.

I have a thing basketballs and baseball mits.

I ordered Auburn also!

I have seen it, I like it.

since its the minority color and the masses tend to get it wrong (except the last Presidential election whenGore had more votes), it is the most tastey color choice in my opinion.

I lease. The residual is written in stone. I also got a manual transmission which means there is a narrow demographic that will buy this wonderful car in 36 months!

I gues it won't be Abeesea!
