Individual Cohiba brown interior?

[Art__Vandelay]

Since I love the SS interior the most, but I'm afraid of the maintenance, I guess I'm going to order the full leather in black (which looks OK, but it's a bit "boring", at least there's contrast stiching).

But now I'm thinking about individual leather. Amaro was my favourite, but I actually like the Cohiba Brown as well. It's dark and the maintenance should be OK, but there's still some contrast with the black parts of the interior. And it should look nice with the white contrast stiching.

Are there any pictures of Cohiba in the M3/M4?

Thanks. Hate this app. It even showed the pics uploading.

Scary part is that I have these saved in my gallery....

Its cool but I would go Amaro. Love that interior. I want Interlagos of LMB with Amaro. Hope they release a new blue when comp pack comes out.

The pics are so dark, doesn't go well with the black inside IMO. Definitely would go with Amaro

they will probably do like what they did on the E46, and after couple years drop YMB and AY

If you really like the Silverstone interior, I would just go for it.

Maintenance is not really that bad. I have two kids climbing in the back with their dirty winter boots and the leather does not get that dirty. I also had some dye transfer from one pair of jeans. I bought the BMW leather cleaner, and everything comes out very easily. It is as simple as apply and wipe. I have only needed to clean my interior once so far in 7 months.

I love the SS interior, it make the interior of the car bright and lively. What I like is that there is still more black than light areas. The SS just gives accents to an otherwise black interior.

I've been thinking of how the Cohiba would look with Frozen Silver.

At first I thought the Brown/Black interior combo looks out of place, but it should be broken up enough to look good. It's a pity that cohiba seatback gets covered by the CF seat inserts, as I think those are a must have for the F80.

I like Amaro as well. My M3 E46 had Cinnamon interior which is similar and I loved it. So I'm definitely considering Amaro, too. Just thought about something more dark because of the easy maintenance and the nice look of the white contrast stiching with a dark color. But there seems to be a burgundy tint in the Cohiba Brown which I don't like that much (at least on the pics).

You're probably right. I just never had such a light color and I'm afraid, not only because of the dirt but also because of the wrinkles which will be more visible on light leather I guess. I have black leather on my M3 E92 now and it really looks almost like new after 3.5 years and 53'000 km. But on the other side, it's a bit boring of course.

For reference: Pics of Frozen Silver with Cohiba Brown interior on a F10 Touring...

That color is money on a 5 series. Looks more fitting on a car like that (elegant).

I hear you. However, going by the leaked Frozen pics of the F80s, and the fact that the F80 is pretty sizable for "only being a 3 Series", I tend to think it could be awesome. The pics RichieRich has of his matte wrapped MG F80 helped sway me. As for the interior, I'm anxious to see better Cohiba pics at some point, the exposures on the F10 above don't do the color justice, and the pics from the F80 leave much to be desired. I think the contrast stitching keeps it sporty enough, especially when combined with the CF trim.

That's what I'm thinking as well, it should look nice with the contrast stiching. But judging the pics, it looks a bit too burgundy for my taste (would prefer if it actually looks more brown), maybe the pics don't do it justice.

The cohiba looks like a very rich chocolate brown in person. Very close to Porsche Cocoa leather if you're familiar with it.

I saw it on a 550i about a year ago. Really nice. Most pictures tend to make it look redder than it is. Kind of like Sakhir Orange interior - looks totally different in pictures than in person.

There is no burgundy in Cohiba. It is straight brown.

Exactly.
