Yep, that’s the one. I was there in mid May. Just so you know, I never sat in “your” car (Lol) as they kept it locked and I didn’t bother anyone to open it. I had already Built my car on BMWNA and stopped in to order it, fill out paperwork and down payment etc. That’s cool! Happy ///Motoring!

Couldn't be happier. In real life it is more of a light saddle/western brown. Looks awesome. I literally get compliments from every single person that rides in the car...the first thing they say is how much they like the interior colors.
I totally agree with the above. I always went conservative and was a black interior guy but came across a comp in grigio medio that honestly took me a few visits to warm up to the Aragon interior. Family and friends loved it right way but still was an adjustment to me initially. So glad I went with it, definitely gives the interior a personality which does not fade into a muted interior like all my previous black interior rides.
Go for it - Fortis Fortuna Adiuvat!

I originally considered black (I have it in my 550i) but the FL sun just beats it up and it soaks the UV and stays hot. I finally decided on the Silverstone w/black racing stripe and it looks good with the Bluestone exterior. I’m very happy with the result.

I’ve had MBB with Aragon Full interior for over a year now and every person that sees it loves the combo. It really makes the car look special and not like a typical 5-series.

Agree with the Aragon comments. Its a great interior color choice and really contrasts well with the Nardo Grey exterior. Mine is more like a saddle color, not orange and draws a lot of compliments from passengers. Glad I went with it.

100% basketball orange. Definitely something you want to see in person before you commit.

It makes the interior look really unique and "special"; much more so than black. Not for everyone though because it is a strong look.

I went with black because my twin 6 yr old boys inhabit the back seat and black is much easier to keep up. Looks great but lacks the presence of most other color interiors.

YMMV

Everyone’s perception will be different. Here is mine: I was surprised at how orange the pictures online make it look when in person I consider it a camel or saddle brown color, much like the leather in the Tundra 1794 Edition.

I have full aragon with bluestone. I am formally a all black interior guy but went outside the box with this one and don't regret it for a second. It has some orange in it but I equate it to a traditional baseball mitt leather. I would never call it orange but as others has said saddle brown. In contrast with the black centers it is phenomenal.

I get lots of compliments on my Aragon. Really makes the interior look special, and different from non-M 5 series which are mostly just boring black. Here is a picture from my delivery day.

I saw one in person, to me it looked 100% basketball orange.

I would suggest to anyone considering that they see it in person for themselves.

It does make for a very "special" and "unique" looking interior so I understand why everyone who sees it comments. It really stands out.

That said...it's a very orange shade of brown, lol.

It has a lot of orange. No real brown or tan available unless you go individual.

I just bought one with this interior. I was worried at first because I have always had black or gray interiors. Now I feel like I am sitting in a baseball glove and I really like it. Its a happy lower case orange.

When I ordered my car, I went back and forth on black or aragon orange. Decided to do something different and went with the orange and absolutely love it! It looks amazing!

I think baseball glove orange is the perfect analogy. Definitely orange and definitely awesome. I saw it live in a dealer car and it was gorgeous.

I've got a three month old 2020 Bluestone M5 with Aragon interior. I also had the same interior in my preceding X5M. The color is so cool. It adds so much to the look of the car. It makes Silverstone and Black seem so boring. But, you have to see it in person to get a feel for it.

Would you consider getting the caramel interior? It's better looking than Aragon IMHO.

Aragon is orange. Unique, interesting, not boring, something different, etc., but it is Orange.
