Interior color choice f30 328i sport

I'm hesitating between two color matchings

1. mineral grey exterior + black leather (black highgloss and alumium)
2. mineral grey exterior + everestgrey leather (black highgloss and alumium)

I think 1 is more cohesive but 2 is nice contrast

how do you think?

I agree, go with the grey. The larger percentage of people will go with black, and therefore your car will be more unique.

Mineral Gary paired with black, is one of the the best combinations for the Sport Line. Saw a Mineral Gray, Modern Line with Oyster interior and that was looking good.... Still waiting to see Luxury, Mineral Gray on Black. Can't imagine that not working.
Highest Regards.

I would choose option 1, but these guys are right, plenty of other folks will do the same. Option 2 will be less common, but that will be of little comfort to you if, ultimately, you don't like it as much as the black.

I assume your choices are limited to black, red or grey?

What headliner are you going with btw?

I never would have thought it, but some guy got and posted pics of the Mineral Gray with the Coral Red, and it looked great. Take a look at it. You might like it, and it's unique.

in the USA you can't pick your headliner, so if u go Sport Line you get the black headliner; which is not a bad thing.

Good news that you get black. Personally I would go for the whole black cockpit thing, but that's just me.

Ziggys101 took delivery of the mineral grey with red interior. I expect you've seen it, but just in case, it's here: http://www.f30post.com/forums/showth...errerid=151360

Good luck choosing!

I've been thinking of starting a thread about exactly this colour combination as we're thinking of getting it for our 320d Sport! Actually it's my girlfriend's suggestion - it wouldn't have occurred to me but 99% of the time she's right in such matters. If the colours look as they do on the configurator it should look great but I'm still concerned that it'll make everything look a little, well, grey.

It's reassuring at least that you all think Mineral Grey and Everest Grey should work together .

Same here but bit apprehensive. None of the dealers in bay area, ca seem to have this combination in their showroom. Also I did search and then some more search but haven't come across pictures for this exterior/interior combo on sports line. Hopefully somebody who has seen this combo in person will chime in..
