I have seen it in Black and its nice. I have CB with black headliner. I dont think the Oyster will look good with AW, not for a guy anyway.

Saw a AW with oyster/black and light wood interior in Palm Springs BMW. Awesome! Elegant, distinguished and clean looking. Can't go wrong if you like the lighter tones accentuated with the black on the floor and lower door panels.

Ah the great think about taste! We each have a different one! Luckily for us we do not have to live by the original Henry Ford dictum: "You can have any color you want as long as it is black!".

I would think that VW Bug with the flower on the dash is girly. But the F10 AW with oyster/black and light wood actually looks very "clean" rather than "girly". It is certainly very light overall and a huge constrast to jet black with black leather. I would offer the contrast of Taylor Swift and Nelly Furtado. I am sure there are fans of each individually and both simultaneously - depending on the mood.

I have an Alpine White F10 520d 19 inch Black alloys, privacy glass and was going to have Oyster/Black interior but changed my mind at last minute to just black because was worried the Oyster would just look like off white against the brilliant Alpine White, also privacy glass works better with black interior.

Just my opinion.

But I do think the interior ambient lighing would be better with Oyster.

VW bugs are a girls car only period! lol flower or no flower.

I love the Oyster/Black color combo myself and think it's fine for a guy just not with AW.

I like my CB with the black headliner. I do think it would look like crap with the standard liner IMO.

I think black with oyster/black is really tight.
