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.

Check 5post's Color Threads:

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?
