Social distancing???

Estoril over magma. Not sure I've ever seen that before. I kind of love it.

Chiaretto over cinnamon, on the other hand? No.

Estoril over Magna was always my fwv e26 combo. I have no clue why so many people ordered dove.

I didn't know Chiaretto was an option for e46s. It looks great on e39s. It uhhhhhh really brings out the orange hues of the cinnamon though.

I still see plenty of people buying dove equivalent interiors on new cars

I think it looks good when new, but what a PITA it was to keep clean and conditioned.

I COULD NOT agree more.

Yeah, I've never liked dove; it's sort of fine when new, but shows wear way too much.

Plus, why get a boring color when you could get an interesting color?

But estoril seems to have been 90 percent dove grey, 9 percent black, and I guess 1 percent things like magma.

As for cinnamon, I'm still annoyed that I never got an E46 M3 in carbon black/cinnamon, which I thought was an amazing combo.

That is neat. Like I said before Magma and Mulberry seemed to be made from harder more durable material then the other E36 leathers. They always seem to wear better for some reason.
