Smile M5 F90 Competition - Donington Grey over Caramel

A few shots I received from BMW - they might not be the best ones but you get the idea and can see the potential of this combination.









This combination somehow makes the car less aggressive compared to a full leather black interior - at least that's how I feel in a positive way.

It looks more classy.
It can be a great sleeper around town with that color combo.

heavens that interior is perfect. I still think the Caramel is the best interior. Wouldn't have guessed it looks this good on DG but that's the classiest combo I've seen yet. Still haven't seen BSM with Caramel which is what I'm thinking about ordering but this is tempting.

BSM was my first choice but I dropped it later because there are just too many grey cars around. Then DG grew more and more on me... it's timeless and classy.

I wish I had caramel on mine! Mine has black interior, and while nice to hid flaws with little kids inside a lot, the caramel is absolutely worth the extra expense.

No, it's not mine. They just had the colour combination I asked for and sent me pictures.

I will order mine, if everything goes as planned, by end of the year... depending on what will happend with the LCI for 3/2020.

I will post my configuration shortly before I place my order.

I am thinkink about the option to place an individual order where the back of the front seats is black because of kids and passengers dragging their feet.

It needs the wood interior to go with the Caramel seats.

The dark aluminium carbon structure works very well because it adds contrast. Live and let live...

Great execution on your part. Congratulations.
It's a pleasure and not worth mentioning.

Cudos to the BMW Genious who provided me with the material - nonetheless thank you for the nice words!

I love the caramel interior and am very happy to have it on my car. It goes great with the DG too.
Thanks for sharing the photos,

My M5 is actually Ruby Red Metallic. Sorry if that wasn't clear. I like the pics with the caramel with the DG though.

A great combo you have with the ruby red!

BSM over Caramel or
BSM over Aragon Brown

I'm torn between DG, BSM and BMB - at least I have enough time to think about it.

The "save" combo might be BSM over Aragon Brown because of passengers and kids... but DG over Caramel is so classy...
