My Ride: Just gone-520d m sport- Jet Black- Dakota Leather black- AluCube interior,
On order- F10 520d SE-Titanium Silver
Has anyone opted for this combination? Would welcome any opinions? Not sure if the lack of contrast between interior and exterior colours would be odd but then, there is a fair bit of black on the top area of the dashboard & below knee height with this interior choice. Sales guy thinks it'll be a mistake.

Thats your most likely bet for finding certain colors and combos.
Personally I think titansilver needs a not-too-light interior to look nice.

Thx all for feedback- I noticed very few of the pics on the thread had black interior which surprised me. I too love black leather but after almost 5 yrs of it in E60 would like a change- I was thinking that oyster/black interior contained enough black to make it work with silver. Will have to find one in the flesh to make up my mind-

I've had black dakota in my E61 and I've loved it, but in my upcoming F10 the choice fell on Tudor (FPAT) (Black leather and black fabric - only available with sport seats).
It looks even better than the "old" dakota. Not so different from the Alcantara/fabric upholstery in the M-Sport kit.
I'll be posting some pics very soon so you can judge for yourself.

Hi Scandi24! I am really looking forward to seeing pictures tomorrow, I have been seriously thinking of the Tudor/leather combination, the salesman is not too enthusiastic and would like to know how happy you are. Are the headreasts and centre console leather or fabric?
