I am favoring Space Gray with Cream interior.

The only other interior that might appeal to me would be Natural Brown with Sp Gray.
How do you all think these interiors would look with Space Gray?

Which would be your favorite of these two?
Thanks,

Mick
I like the contrast of black/brown with the natural brown, assuming this photoshoped pic off the UK site is somewhat correct.

I'm also for contrast colours, dark vs. light or vice versa.

The Cream Leather could look really great on a blue or black car
but of course it's very hard to keep clean.

I am waiting for a Deep Sea Blue 525iA with Leather Dakota Natural Brown interior and High Glossy Black trims. And a Sun Roof for a lighter interior

What do you all think about the combo?

I had beige leather in my last car and it was impossible to keep clean for long. It does look really nice when it is clean though. I went with space grey and black leather on this car as I don't want a weekly hobby of cleaning my car. I would rather be out driving it around.

It will look good, IMO.
A friend of mine drives a Audi A6 Avant with a similar colorcombo and I think it looks sporty, classic in a modern way...but that's me...
I opted for a space gray this time as my latest car was similar to deep sea blue. I needed a change...I switched car brand too.

Funny thing... how VISUAL we are when we talk about whether a certain color interior (or exterior) will be "easier" or "harder" to keep clean.... they are all the same when you stop & think about it... the only difference is a darker interior might be easier to HIDE the dirt visually... or same for a lighter exterior perhaps...

I think I'll go for the cream interior... and then I'll choose to actually clean it when the dirt shows up more than I can stand... or just say - it can stay dirty a bit, I'm going driving now!

Any hint of blue in the space gray? Haven't seen it in person... but I'm leaning towards the Deep Sea Blue over cream in the 08 550 Sport... hoping to build/order it for ED/PCD in next few weeks.... excitement builing already!
