Not true, the E60 has Cream Beige leather and Black dash top and it's still in great condition.

you look after it, non?

you're definitely at least a bit detailingworld...

I've never done anything with the interior bar a quick hour of leather cleaning when it first arrived.

Nope, the black looks infinitely better. The beige looks cheap and plasticy. Also the wood sucks.

Now I have to agree with something you've posted, damn

Why have you never shown us any pictures of the car, though? It's quite an interesting car and it isnt hard to snap a few camera phone shots. Heck you even use library pictures to show off your interior! Even your sig just has a press-shot in it.

There had to be a first time.

I've got one:

But seeing as you've asked I'll take a few more.

That interior is excellent

How truely exciting.

Sadly it seems everyone who specs a new BMW is just as unadventurous, finding one with a decent interior colour combo is such a challenge.

Black/Silver ruins the interior of the E90 IMHO. It hides all the interesting bits and just makes it look bland.

I not bothered by exciting I'm interested in something I like the look of. Exciting to me is how the car drives not picking random colours for the interior that I need sunglasses or those red and blue 3d glasses to see properly.

This is the only picture which concerns my point. All of the others above (including Simulatorman's) show a light coloured interior with black trim, which I think looks superb.

The "beige" interior, in the pic quoted, is TOO beige. The plastic trim, trim around the door cards - IMO, it looks too old fashioned and old-man like.

Also - black interior cars (by your own admission) dont photograph well, but look much better in the flesh, and are much easier to keep looking nice (especially if you have kids).

Most of the door card, including handles, its leather not plastic.

I hate beige interiors, I'd much rather have black or grey, even that white looks nice, anything but beige, it has put me off so many cars in the past.

Actually my favourite is black with red suede seats, like in the Integra Type R.

How about centre console, glovebox, drink holders ?

My e61 has amethyst grey interior which is a slightly grey cream in practice and I much prefer it to black. Non black was on my want list as the black is yawnworthy.
