IMO, worst leather color out of available interior choices.
It doesn't seem to fit into this car's character.

Tubernator · 08-01-2014, 11:17 PM

Doesn't seem to be popular with early adopters, but IMO would look fine with BSM or MW/AW. Not the sportiest color. Would look pretty good with a dark blue.

Bamboo in the last gen took a while to gain some steam. Most enthusiasts that order very early are definitely going for something sportier, thus the large amount of orange seats being built right now

Looks good to me.

m3rxn · 08-02-2014, 02:49 AM

Not a fan. Wonder if it will be high maintenance like SS? looks pretty light..

jzmundy · 08-02-2014, 08:26 AM

I'm apparently in the minority here, but I really love this interior color. Now, if the whole interior was made beige (carpeting, seat backs,door panels, etc.) like on the series cars, I could understand some of the distaste. But the way they've executed is, IMHO, spot on.

Jockey · 08-02-2014, 08:30 AM

I actually like it too. That might be my exact configuration.

Blindside_137 · 08-02-2014, 09:37 AM

I like it. Reminds me of the classic Ferrari combo of red exterior and tan interior, but this is the BMW take on that.

Exactly what I was thinking.

+1 such a waste. Beige is so beige.

E92LNGCGY · 08-02-2014, 10:19 AM

This was the combo I originally ordered but changed to SO/SS. This actually looks really good.

+1. Yep, looks very classy to me

I don't think BMW has ever done their tan colors that well the shade is just a bit off in my opinion. They need a true red for these cars too.

chipotle_napkins · 08-02-2014, 01:45 PM

It really isn't THAT bad. It could've been worse

yeah and a shift gate for that manual in there

F82_SID · 08-02-2014, 02:08 PM

My MR/SB e92 M3 had a similar combo and I loved it. Got tons of compliments. I actually like the SO/SB in these pics better.

Tubernator · 08-02-2014, 02:18 PM

I really like the "natural brown" in my 535, and agree that the black carpet works with the beige colors. Red and brown just work.

SOM3 · 08-02-2014, 02:19 PM

Looks good, I'd do her.

I saw this one today ... Personally I'm not a fan of beige but boy does the M4 look fantastic in Sakhir. Also this was my favorite version of the coupe ...

To my eye the M4 looks best in Sakhir and the M3 in Alpine - all totally subjective of course but man the M4 in Sakhir is stunning.

Completely agree. I was very surprised how fantastic the Sakhir Orange looks in person on the M4. I thought it doesn't fit the car at all from the pictures.

Austin Yellow is sporty bold, maybe on a thin line with douchy.
Sakhir Orange is sporty bold but yet somehow much more balanced, elegant.

NYBulldog · 08-02-2014, 09:39 PM

Looks fine. Looks like that car has all-black 19" wheels, would love to see those
