Can anyone rank (in terms of darkness / how much brown vs Red vs orange vs beige hues) or describe the various brown interiors? Pictures next to each other would be tremendously appreciated.

Also which is your favorite brown interior?
I'm getting confused with all the current / old choices:

Amaro
Cohibo
Golden
Nutmeg

Vs the old

Cinnamon
Saddle
Chestnut
Terracota

Google does not answer any of questions regarding comparisons of the different shades of brown and owner comments / preferences

Cohiba to ME, feels the best and is the nicest shade. It seems to be more plush than any of the other browns and looks the most luxurious. It's dark brown almost to a black at first glance too.

But it does provide lots of pictures for you to compare them. The preference should be your own based off the pictures - unless the interiors can't be accurately represented by a photo, as with SO exterior. You can also likely find comments on the interiors as well with enough searching.

Edit: Also, I wasn't trying to be a dick. I was just saying you should be able to find your answers with enough searching around if you can't find them here. Most people don't know how to properly utilize a search engine, what results to ignore, etc.

I had Cinnamon on the M3 E46, Terracotta on the 135i and now Cohiba on the M3 F80. All great colors.

Since I had black leather on my M3 E92 I wanted something different. I like Amaro but I just don't like the fact that the whole lower part of the dash would be in Amaro as well if you get the full leather, the contrast between the upper and lower part would be just too strong. So I decided for Cohiba and I am very happy with it. It's so classy and elegant and I love the contrast stiching.

Cohiba looks perfect with Tanzanite

Member Deja Vu tried to help and the OP answer was "Google does not like me".

Something is wrong in this forum.

I don't think telling someone to google something is helpful when I'm asking for opinions and descriptions of color shades / hues .. Pretty subjective stuff

I really want forum member opinions and feedback on the different M brown interiors new and old.

Plenty of similar threads on exterior colors. There are dedicated threads for each color, and a bunch of which blue / which white threads.

Here's golden brown and chestnut. I find Golden Brown and Amaro similar but the Golden Brown has more of a gold/orange tint. I love it in the context of my car but would not choose it across every exterior color.

Cohiba looks really nice - if you asked me to pick one color to fit with all exteriors this would be the one. I think it will look good with anything especially because I don't like solid black or very light interiors.

I haven't seen a single picture of Nutmeg in a purchased car. Very polarizing color. Though I would rock it in a Green, Yellow or White car just to be different.

Of the older colors I know Chestnut the best. I always compared it with Red Bricks. Reddish but more orange than Sakhir. Note the one pick I have handy of my Old Chestnut 335i is pretty washed out. Much redder in person.

Amaro and gold brown are similar hues. Amaro brown is like you took gold brown and put a translucent layer over it to mute it. Amaro is more subtle, Gold Brown is more in your face. Kind of like taking a TV and turning the "color" setting way up. Thanks to @DslDwg I have now seen both in person (thanks again!)

Amaro and Golden brown are both "tans".

Cohiba is straight up brown. Not a tan, a brown. Not a reddish brown, or a tannish brown. It's flat out brown. Like maybe a chocolate bar. Brown.

Not saying that in a bad way. It is what it is and it's very pretty. I'd love to see it with Minera White, I think it would be very striking.

Sorry for the goofy descriptions and writing, trying to convey this in words isn't easy.

I have Cohiba with my Azurite Black and absolutely love the color combo. Cohiba is a very refined and classy interior, if that makes any sense
