In the Media Gallery Images they show the Venetian Beige Interior with the matching beige headliner. This looks spectacular. Unfortunately while BMW shows this on-line and in printed materials, what they offer in the US is the Oyster headliner with the beige leather. The oyster headliner looks hideous with the beige leather and that is the only way that it is available in the US. BMW NA should offer the beige headliner. Obviously it looks a lot a better in the F10 just like it does in the US 7 Series. OR change the BMW web site images so that BMW Enthusiasts can see how truly ugly the Oyster headliner is with beige leather. The present bait and switch approach is misleading.

No I am not a lawyer. I would like BMW NA to offer better choices. Beige headliner with beige leather. Oyster/Oyster. M-Sport Suspension.

Yuk. This seems like a poorly thought-out move.
This photo from the BMW US press kit shows the matching beige arrangement ... very nice.
And this photo is from the Build Your Own section on the BMW USA Website with beige leather and oyster headliner ... not attractive. (at least they aren't misleading in BYO). Cinnamon Brown gets paired with the Oyster headliner too.
