Hi,

@lotus99 - is that your car? How does the button of the seat look like? Black or beige? You are right about the possibility that it gets dirty :-)

@mmitev - Will do.. :-)

Yes, it's my car. Pics were from the internet listing that I had saved. Is this what you mean?

Here are a bad Iphone pic..

Dark poppel (Maderia are more reddish but are in the car now so cant show it against the Beige)


Light carrara (Not so orange in real life..)



The picture does not justify the Carrara but in real life it is a great combo! I am leaning to this - It is not a classic interior I am after!

Here are a pic that I found that show the colour better!

I like the Carrara in this combination

You would be great to see a pic with the Madeira as well, if you still consider it!

My E61 has the light coloured interior with bamboo trims,I found the interior a little to "light" so changed the grab handles and also the luggage net locks on the roof over to black ones,also changed the velour floor mats for black ones and it really breaks up the interior.

Well time for a little update..





I am really happy with the result.. Especially that I did change the console to beige and used the Carrara wood..
I will look for a beige gear and handbrake cover.

Nice combo.
I would also replace the plastic black lower part of the dashboard (where the seat and PDC buttons are) with a carrara wood piece.

It would be nice but it does not exist. The one I have now are black leather from a M5 :-)

Next project are a logic7 upgrade, powerfold mirrors and DAB tuner...
