Sakhir is like Yas Marina, visually impressive, but not something i'd want to live with every day.

The individual colors are great, Tanzanite or Azurite would be worth the $1950 to me.

Looking at the interior options, Cohiba is sharp, but I'd do the Cloth Leather option and pocket the $3500.

Sakhir can seem bright in the sun, but in the slightest shade it gets pretty dark. Gray is nice for sure, but I'm all grayed out. Had the turbo for 3 years, still have the LR4, and even the Miata is a bit of a grayish silver. The eGolf is also silver. Plus, my wife loves Sakhir so I'm running with it. I was very tempted with Tanzanite even for $2k, but it's just too dark. You have to have direct sunlight to make it look blue.

Also, going with cloth saves $4.5k.

Yas Marina would be my choice. No problems living with that on my end. Sakhir is OK, but I hate the way it dulls up out of the sun.

amazed by the amount of cloth votes, assumed it was just Bren and I

Yas is a bit too much. My wife and I saw it in person.

Well, I guess I'll just follow my gut and go with cloth.

I would get leather, extended or full wouldn't matter that much to me since I'd probably get a black interior. I say if you love the brown leather, go for it.

It's more like, if I'm going to spend all that money in full leather, I might as well get something other than black. If the contrasting stitching were free, I'd go that way: all black with orange stitching.

I see it regularly in person. It's one of the best street car colors I've seen around.

I think it will age well, if LSB is any indication. I personally like it a lot, but I like Sakhir, too. Don't think you can go wrong either way.

EDIT: Just looked up Tanzanite and Azurite. Both are nice; they sort of evoke Carbon Black, which was always my favorite E46 M3 color (particularly with cinnamon interior). But I don't think I'd pay more for those than YMB or SO.

We have the Nappa leather package (with leather dash) on the X5, and it really upgrades the look.

I would never have cloth seats with kids. Too absorbent...

But shampoo-able. I've seen plenty of leather seats destroyed by kids (food/dirt/scratches).
