Do they still offer Tartufo? I thought they dropped one of the browns. That color is fairly accurate, it’s probably a little more brown and less orange in person but not by much.

We have Coffee in ours and it’s a much nicer shade of brown.

Coffee looks pretty nice. I am not a fan of Mocha, especially when paired with the black exteriors.

My choice would be one of the lighter blues (Phytonic, or whatever it is) with Cognac.

So I just checked and they still offer Tartufo, they dropped Cognac for 2020.

BMW built a batch of low-spec 50i last year in Phytonic with Cognac leather. Every dealer had a few of them and there were a lot of leftover by end of model year. If they had a few more options I probably would have picked one up since I’d imagine the deals were good. My dealer still had one in the showroom when we got our 2020 and I got a nice discount on that so I’m sure they would have gone deeper to move the 2019.

Looks like the combination is still available in the 40 engine.

Thanks everyone. I do think we need to see it in person. Exterior will be carbon black which obviously I see nearly every day, but really waffling on black vs. tartufo for inside.

Yeah they ruined carbon black when they started offering it on every non M car after the E39/E46. I think you should for for the Tartufo.

Looks like we'll be waiting a few months - no more 2020 allocations. Bummer.

Fingers crossed that the 2021 X7 lease and incentive stuff comes out today. My latest perseveration is rear captains chairs vs. bench.

What?! Obviously I have to take a look at the configuration for X7s. I know absolutely nothing about them.
