My Ride: 2007 Sapphire Black Metallic 525i. Beige Dakota Leather, Premium package, bluetooth, BMW Assist, Xenon adaptive lights, Sirius radio
I love the 2 tone. However, I must disagree about the black parts. I had an 01 325i. All black leather interior. The dash showed dust. The carpet showed dirt, grime, leaves, pebbles etc. My 525i has grey interior and I love it.

+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

My Ride: 2007 530i SMG Jet Black/Beige Sport/Prem/Cold, comfort, split, shades.
Thanks all! I found out yesterday, that the 09 535 M-sport thats at the port won't have the natural brown. They only have a few 09 535 M-sports and they all have black interiors. I was hedging on the two tone, but now it is a great choice, if I had it...go figure. Actually none of them have light interiors. I was going to go with a 528 M-sport, but the lease deals are so attractive now on a 09 that it hard to pass up the rates and wait for MY2010. Any thoughts??
The one I am looking at has all of the must haves in it but it is a black interior. Carbon Black exterior, M-Sport package, sport trans, Sat,cold,prem, Nav.
I honestly thought I would wait for the last model year before ordering, but the rates are fantastic now on the 09s, it's just hard to pass up.

I have 2008 535xi with Monaco Blue and natural leather. Awesome combo. Yes, eventually dirt will show on the light colored seats. So far a damp wipe has removed it. In the past I had a 96 Volov 850Turbo with similar color seats, and had it to about 90K miles (before my son wrecked it. 
Oh, the pain...). Over time dirt will darken the light color in wear spots. I still enjoy the lighter color. Brightens my day!

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.
