Bluestone with Tartufo

Anyone have pictures of Bluestone Metallic with Tartufo interior?

I am debating between the Tartufo and the Mocha for my Bluestone M550. (order is in with the mocha, but I still have time to change it).

I have seen the Bluestone & Mocha combo, but have only seen Tartufo on the Mediterranean Blue, which is a nice combo.

While I like both colors, I prefer the pattern and extended coverage of the Tartufo, however I am thinking the Mocha might go better with the Bluestone.

Don’t have pictures but personally don’t think either would be great with bluestone. I love tartuffo and mocha interiors but I think they need to be pairs with a bolder color like a white/black/carbon black/med blue. The bluestone is too wisy washy for either of those interiors in my view.

Personally I went with bluestone and black and was also considering bluestone with ivory. But everyone is different so take my view with a grain of salt.

I have the Bluestone with nappa mocha and leather dash and I think it looks great. But opinions are like human rear ends...everyone has one.

Yes, I did. Thank you. Unfortunately, no pics with the Tartufo there.

Just keep in mind that adding Tartufo WILL add time to the build - potentially 2-3 months depending on your timing...

It’s well worth the wait I have seen it in person a few times and loved it

Completely agree, just don't know if OP has time restrictions since the order is already in process.

My car is scheduled for a week 12 build (about 2 weeks from now). Dealer told me tartufo will only take about 2 weeks more, so it seems the time factor is not really an issue.

I have Tartufo and it is gorgeous. The contrast stitching and leather dash with matching stitching. That said it can get expensive with luxury seat option but again very nice feature.
I in no way added months to my order. In fact I don't think it changed anything since the dealer ad a allocation that he just changed to mine.
It did however lock my order down right away. I forgot 2d cameras and couldn't add them just 3 days later because order was locked.

Thanks for the info. What color exterior do you have?
The Tartufo is beautiful, and since I am getting the leather dash and the luxury seating package anyway, my decision boils down to just the color choice.
I just feel the Mocha might be a better match with the Bluestone, so am leaning towards that.

I suspect that either way you will be happy. I love both leathers. The Tartuffo, of course, covers more area. I am glad you are getting the leather dash; I would encourage anyone getting Nappa or Merino leather to also get the leather dash. The leather dash nicely finishes off the interior, especially with the door window tops.

After one year of ownership I took the car to a detailing shop and had them do an interior detail. Afterwards the nappa looked brand new.

Doesn't the Merino come with leather dash by default?

It does but it is different. Apparently the leather dash OPTION comes with black stitching on the dash and window sills. The leather dash included with Merino comes with matching stitching to the seats for dash and window sills.

To answer a earlier question, I have Mediterranean Blue with Tartufo.
