Out of these colors the best was the Bluestone Metallic. The photos really don't do this color justice.

Can you please tell how the Nappa Mocha looked like in real life. In the videos I have noticed that its pretty unimpressive, like a dirty sheen specially in sun...? How is it in real life...???

Need help in deciding Cognac vs Moccha.

It's not a new color from BMW, so you can try to google it for more pics. Also try spelling it mocca or mokka.

To me it looks not that nice in all the pics. I would have to see it, or at leat a sample in real life.

The M550 was locked so I could only see the Mocha looking through the window. That said I don't like it. Looks worse in real life than in photos.

Also the aluminum hex trim looks very cheap in real life. In photos it looks like it has a textured finish, but in real life it is very 2 dimensional and hex pattern looks like a print which makes the trim look very plastic.
