Donington Grey...but what color interior? Feedback needed.

BIMMERPOST
     Featured on BIMMERPOST.com
A dealer is giving me a really good price on a M5 Comp order...so much so that I'm thinking of walking away from my current non-Comp order and going with this one.

If I went the M5 Comp route, I'd likely go Donington Grey...but I'm struggling with either going full black or full aragon brown interior.

Any recommendations from owners who have Donington Grey and which interior color option they find to be the best.

Thanks in advance.

That is unreal!! Do you think your SA would extend the same awesome deal for an out of state sale??

I'm still waiting for my local stealers to come down from their high horses and to go below MSRP.

BTW, I'll go with black full leather with your Donington (at least that's how I'll spec it when my time comes). Aragon is just too much orange to my eyes to stay a classy match to Donington.

I'm out of state with this dealer. I'll reach out and make sure they're okay with me passing along their contact information to others.

Personally this is the combo that works for me.

If I had the patience to order, I would have went with Tartufo. Smoke gray would have been my second choice, but I heard that even blue jeans eventually discolor the lighter Silverstone or Smoke colors.

I love my DG Comp, and very happy I went with full black. I typically think Black is too generic, but, I think it complements the black trim and the DG very nicely. I also have small kids, and the black will hide the most flaws.

I think the Aragon is way too orange, and the black strip makes it look chintzy.

I have DG on my X5M and I went with Aragon Brown. It’s such an awesome combination. I tend to be conservative on interior colors and my wife is even worse. But she loves it as much as I do. It’s not shiny orange in real life. I can’t recommend it enough.

I picked up DG 6 days ago. I ordered it with the black leather because I tend to like conservative colors and I felt the aragon brown was too orange. When I walked into the dealership there was another DG M5 up front with aragon and I knew I had made a mistake. It looked like a cool western leather, not too orangey (new word here). Get the Aragon.

Aragon for sure; like others have said it's not as orange as people think.

I bought a Donnington Gray off the lot and wish that it would have had the brown interior. It’s black and rather boring.

Think I’m leaning Aragon brown just to break up the interior from being all black.

Another vote for Silverstone. These pictures aren't the best, but they'll give you an idea.

Just Cquartz the leather and wipe it with a reload once a month.
Works well - I always wear jeans and in 12 years was good on my old ride.
It is more maintenance, but worth it imo.

What part of so cal are you in? I think there may be a couple that may go slightly below MSRP by now on a base model, definitely not the comp though.
