I ordered my new '05 545i last week. Turning in my 2002 530i, Titanium silver, blk leather, sport pkg, prem. pkg. It is an awesome car. I expect my new 545i to be even greater !! The '05 545 is Orient Blue w/ Auburn leather, sport pkg, nav, sirius, prem. sound. My question is that I need some feedback on this leather choice. The dealer had nothing in stock with Auburn leather. Only seen the color on this site and brochure. How does it look ??? Is it a darker brown or is it really orangey as these pics here show. Let me know what everyone thinks. Has anyone seen this combination together, if so, how's it look?
Thanks for your opinions and I really find this site excellent.

Picking up ED the same combo. I think it's less orangy than some of the pics show. The flash used must be bringing out the extreme orange color seen on some fo the pics.

I have it and I love it. But it does not look like the brochure or the pics on the web site. I would make the effort to see it.
