Cognac leather looks good, but I don't think the alu trim suits it, or other light interior colors.

Weird how they deleted the M sport steering wheel though.

I have ordered Med Blue in SE spec with Cognac and Poplar Grain Grey wood. I agree that the aluminum isn't the best with the Cognac.

Sounds like a good choice, I think the Poplar Grey trim looks great with lighter interior colors.

I have to disagree. I find the aluminum trim suits the Cognac leather the best. Either way I love the contrast of the Mediterranean blue and the Cognac leather interior. I wish they did this color with the Nappa leather.

That is in addition to the higher taxes we pay on income......

Those are the 18" upgrades.


The 520d (and probably 520i and possible 518i+518d) can come on 17" wheels

Like this beauty

That interior sure is nice. Can't say the same about the exterior (not the color, the design).

If you haven't seen the standard Alu trim in the flesh i'd have a look. I think it looks terrible on the car, really cheap. The hex Alu on the 1 series is nicer that this one.

Too bad you can't gets the fine line alu trim (like you could on the F10) with the M sport package.
