Considering the two tone natural brown on my new ride, I haven't seen it yet. The MSport comes with anthacite headliner, does anyone have pics. I have been always partial to light interiors with and black exteriors. But I seen a carbon black 5er and I think I have a new favorite color.

I was in your camp with the light interior with black for a long time... My 99 528 was Jet Black over Sand.

I originally wanted the natural brown and Monaco Blue for my new ride, but couldn't locate that color combo with my must haves... stick with all three packages. Only six in the pipeline last August.

Ultimately, I went with my must haves, and compromised on the colors. I couldn't be happier with the black interior, and the anthracite headliner.

I have Deep Sea Blue exterior with Natural Brown leather interior - but its not two tone...... is this a new, or US only option?

Isn't it a nightmare "living with" light interiors? You must surely be always vigilent with not allowing dirty shoes coming in and such like. Once you get dark marks on a light interior, I can't imagine you can ever get it out properly.

murders to keep clean, i admit light interiors look great, but for real world driving, they are a pain.
for me its the other way around...black interior, with white body, i wish i could have found a white E60 over here when i bought.
white is sooo in now.

Hello. I have the Nat Brown interior with Carbon Black ext. It has not been hard to keep clean but I am very careful. The things that usually get really dirty like the steering wheel, arm rests on the center consol, carpets and floor mats are black. I am in my car alone 90% of the time and I sit on a t-shirt usually.

There ya go though, you've said it's not hard to keep clean, but that's only because you're "very careful". Add a family or friends that regularly come with you on nearly every trip and don't be very careful, then you see shoe scuff marks and dirt of all kinds (and black stripes from shoes). I'm just speculating, I've never had a light interior so I don't know.

I just know that with a black interior, I'm never the slightest bit careful.

True although my autoglym leather cleaner handles removing dirt and stains away quite well. I have a son attending primary one this year and its a daily job taking him to school and back. You can imagine what his shoes are like after school especailly now in winter where the grounds are muddy. My boy seems to love waking on mud by the way he comes back (shoes).

That said I am just careful and after he has left his shoe prints on the back of the front seats, I just clean it up. Seats are all clean. A bit of extra work is all it takes guys if you have the time though.

cheers

ps: Mine interior is the individual champagne leather with the black carpets. I love that mix.

+1 that champagne looks fantastic.

I'd love to have that colour combination but I couldn't bring myself to do it for my daily driver.
Maybe for a show car or a fine-weather sunday car. We don't all have the garage/driveway space to own 25 cars like dr_dave
