Anyone getting a light colored interior to show off the black seat backs???

Raikkonen · 01-15-2014, 07:12 PM

I think this is such a cool and unique feature to the M, and quite visible from the exterior as well.

I'm usually a black interior guy, but I may just go with Silverstone because of the incredible visual contrast with the black seat backs.

Decisions, decisions...

parky1215 · 01-15-2014, 07:15 PM

Going with sakhir orange. It will show contrast well with black seat back and will be easier to maintain than silverstone interior.

jbockrd · 01-15-2014, 07:26 PM

I'll go with the Silverstone interior after seeing it. I will see it in person next Friday at the show too!

m3ct · 01-15-2014, 07:57 PM

Sakhir orange all the way!

bimmergoat · 01-15-2014, 08:11 PM

Sakhir orange

SO on SO here.

hudamang · 01-15-2014, 10:33 PM

Hmm...I was thinking the opposite. I'd rather it be the same color so I might get black seats even though the silverstone looks great. I'm not a fan of the contrast.

CanAutM3 · 01-15-2014, 10:42 PM

I am also more of "black interior" guy. But I have to admit, I really like the Silverstone interior and the "two tone" aspect of it. I am seriously considering it for my M4 and having good discussions with the wife about it

(she likes it too).

TTG · 01-16-2014, 12:45 AM

I am going with AW ext and Silverstone int again just as I did with my previous M3 :-)

I am a detail freak so up keep was no issue.

solstice · 01-16-2014, 01:17 AM

Black interior for me since I tried light interior in my F10 and I couldn't stand the jeans transfer staining and worse having to tell my kids to be super careful. I do like the two tone look though, looks sharp.

Raikkonen · 01-16-2014, 08:44 AM

Wow! allot of people going w/ orange!!!

I just can't do black...I have to take advantage of this unique "M" feature.

Given that Silverstone is such a PITA to keep clean, the tan leather would be a nice contrast too, and a little less flashy.

Just a thought...

Lorde · 01-16-2014, 09:05 AM

Wouldn't consider any interior other than black.

Going to have the seat backs removed and painted body color.

I plan to go AW / tan. not a fan of all black interiors.

I must say though that the m4 from the auto show with the Silverstone interior looked damn good.

Keto · 01-16-2014, 09:25 AM

I would love that Amaro Brown Invidividual... failing that, I don't know. I would say SO but I am leaning towards YMB for exterior right now and I am not sure how that will look.

lucas.kent · 01-16-2014, 09:31 AM

I feel the same way, OP. I'm going to get black exterior and silverstone interior. Seeing it in Detroit earlier this week in person made me fall in love.

F82_SID · 01-16-2014, 09:44 AM

I am ordering an AY M4 and I stressing about what interior to go with. I dont care for all black interiors AT ALL as I feel that they are way too common however, what else would work with AY?

I know that I dont want to do SO/AY. I am thinking that SB (tan) might work since there will be lots of contrasting black leather, CF, and dark tint but I dont know. I would really love to hear all your thoughts about this combo.

I really want that interior as well but I wear jeans quite often, what will the jeans do to the seats? Any discoloration or easy to see scratches?

I don't like black interiors either. Especially since living in the South. My opinion, SB better than SO (otherwise you're driving a grapefruit). Maybe if other models have SB you should go to your dealer and take a look. I hope they'll widen the choices by the time we can order them. Good luck.

s4play · 01-16-2014, 10:25 AM

I'm planning that rich brown leather (cocoa?) for my mineral white car.

THAT.

Sakhir for me. Light colored interiors are the worst in terms of turning blue and showing cracks in leather. Had it once - never again.

Can't do SO with that. Have you considered Silverstone? I normally don't like it but beige sometimes has a weird tint to it that could clash with AY. Black would work nice, but a little boring/safe. You could wait for a bit until they start taking Individual orders then tons of options.

Technic · 01-16-2014, 10:41 AM

Mine will be Individual Amaro Brown with Individual seatbacks, dash and steering wheel... to hell with Black.
