You think? It's a very very dark blue really.

That’s what they say...

But, keep in mind I have Estoril and black!

I don’t like blue and brown either...

You’re wrong about this.

Blue and brown is great!

I think Carbon Black with Tartufo would look nice

It looks very close to Cognac. Which I love. If I were to build my perfect BMW current spec it would be Phytonic Blue and Cognac...Something about the lighter blue and lighter tan/brown works for me.

I'm a fan of blue or black with brown interior, heck I'm a fan of just about anything and the two tone brown interior.

the one 'Fil posted is with the 6 cyl, seems like a lot of weight for that truck. The n55 works in the x5 with plenty of passing power when I want it, but you have to flog it a bit.

I was just recommending it as a near-by option with Tartufo leather that they could look at. Definitely need the V8!!
