The seats are solid color, so if you liked the natural brown that is what the seats will be.

That is a beautiful color, and looks nice front and back. Although, with all the black on the dash, door handles, etc., I don't think black seat backs would have looked bad either. You have excellent taste. Congrats on the car!

You should love the natural brown .. looks good and is easy to take care of!! What's your exterior color? I have on order a 528i - deep green / natural brown with bamboo wood!

here is a pic of the natural brown:

I'm 9+ months in with 'natural Brown' and it looks every bit as impressive as it was on day one, having kids i imagined all sorts of marks on the hide but in truth anything the kids have been able to throw at the upholstry it has taken with easy and is ver simple to keep clean and remove unsightly marks from.

Wow, from those two pictures, it looks like two completely different leather colors. And neither looks like the 5 series brochure. It's really difficult to take pictures of the interior that show the true color.

I currently have Platinum Bronze/ Natural Brown/ Light Poplar, I love it.
My last e60 was Silver Gray/Grey/Dark Poplar, certainly a different look.

Indeed. It's hard to photograph. There is a richness that doesn't show up in pictures. I'd say the color in Moschse's pictures are closer to reality.

... and it was thanks to e60scotland that I finally decided for natural brown. Couldn't think having another colour now!
