I will be ordering my 535I X Drive Tuesday and I am having a hard time with two color choice!! I went to the dealer today to see if they had them on the lot and no luck. I have seen pictures but wanted to see in person. So I am going to ask you guys for help. This is what I am ordering!
Please share Pros and Cons about these colors!!!
Color Choices:
Deep Sea Blue/ w/Oyster Black interior OR
Mohavie Metallic / w/ Cinnamon Dakota interior
Sport Package
Premium
Premium 2
Sport Transmition with Shift Paddles on the steering wheel.
Now if you guys already have this color and combination please send me pictures.
I have look at the BMW site and I am having a hard time.
Thanks in advance
Tom

My dealer had a Mohavie with Cinnamon that I test drove. I must say I was underwhelmed by the color combo.

Tom,
I wish I could show you pictures but I am not savvy enough to do that. For what it is worth, I took delivery in September of a Mohave 535i with Venitian Beige. I felt the cinnamon, although great by itself, did not give enough contrast with the Mojave. I think the mojave with the beige is very rich looking and you don't see it ever, which I like. Mojave was a color previously available on the 7 series.

Thank you all for the suggestions!!
I went to my local dealer where I had gotten my 2002 325XI. Well this is what I decided to get and it will be here in a few days. I was going to use a broker and would had to wait 90 to 120 days to get a newly ordered one.
The dealer had one that was on it's way.
535I X Drive
Deep Sea Blue
Oyster/Black interior
Cold Weather Package
Premium and Premium 2 Packages
Sport Package
Sport Transmission
Split Rear Folding Seats.
While at the dealer they had a 535 in the mohave with black interior and it just did not tickled my fancy. But they had one in Deep Sea Blue and it sure was awesome looking. I also saw the oyster/black in another car and it sure looks sweet. I know that I will have to pay more attention to the cleaning of it. But I really like the combination
Now it does have a few options I could have done without but since it's on the truck to be delivered I said what the heck. I went for it, the 2 options were Cold Weather and split rear seat. The dealer discounted it $1905 from the MSRP and they do not charge any dealer prep. They gave me more that I expected for the 325XI in trade in. So I get a $550 + in sale tax credit. I also had a pre approved loan with my credit union for 2.99%. Well the dealer call me and the credit department got me a 2.34% with Chase bank. I just emailed my credit union and asked it they can beat the rate!!
So what do you guys think did I do alright????? also they let me keep the 325 until the new arrives!!!

You did absolutely right and the Deep Sea Blue is a great choice of color. My test drive loaner had the same exterior and looked brilliant in the sun. I think in is better than the Mohave.
Hope you enjoy your new drive when it arrives
