Oyster is pretty, but I'd be afraid of dirt and pollen stains from being exposed.

Personally, I really, really like mineral gray. If it were my I'd do the Mineral Gray / Terra, but color is a very personal and subjective decision.

Don't worry too much about the seats getting too hot.
The Mineral Gray is very sharp--actually elegant. But our X5 is Space Gray. A bit of a snooze to have both. The Estoril harkens a bit to the Topaz Z3 we had and loved.

I would do Saddle Brown seats in a heartbeat. But not available in the 2.
