is the interior beige w/ leatherette or is it the lemon color

and with this color seats, do you think it will get dirty easily or would it be really easy to clean since it's leather? maybe easier with some of those treatments like scotchguard?

It's beige leather which I've had before in a BMW and even after 3 years I never had a problem cleaning the car. You really don't need to add any treatments on the seats.

Hey CaptJack,

Congrats on the car I'm sure you're enjoying every minute of it. I'll be totally honest with you I think the AW looks great! I won't be going for it since my car of the last four years was white but that's all right.

In fact, after seeing Arctic for a while today at the dealer I've decided to go with that! Its really a beautiful and unique color. Its light so the lines of the car look great and are visible. Its also not the typical silver (which still looks awesome).

I just need to decide on the interior now: gray leather/walnut or black leather/aluminum ??? I don't know but I have to make the call tonight!

I shot these pics of 3 differentArctic cars at the "Ride & Drive" last Sat. The color is really facinating. Notice the different appearances. I have only seen this color with beige leather so far. It looks great in beige, I'm not so sure about black with this color. If I were you I'd want to see one with that combo in the flesh before I'd order it.

CaptJack, I think AW is a very classy color.. can't really go wrong with it IMO. The orange reflectors are a bit distracting tho (not like you can do anything abuot that tho). White exterior and beige interior was a great choice.

[Armen52]

I drove the Arctic with Black/Walnut but did not see Black/Aluminum on an Arctic car. I also saw it with the Gray/Walnut. I'm leaning towards gray even though everybody likes black

In cooler regions though that would really look great!! :rocks:

It gets DAMN hot here in East Tennessee too!

[useful_engine]

CaptJack - I think alpine white is an excellent choice. Thanks for posting the great pictures. I have a 2003 325i, alpine white with sand (beige) interior. I plan to get an E90 next year and will get the same color combination. BMWs all look good in white. When you see an older car like an E30 or E36 in white, they usually look great. White holds up well over time. If there's ever a big scratch or fender bender, it is much easier to touch up or color match white than metallic paint. It's hard to choose a color. No matter what you pick, you will see other cars and think "Maybe I should have chosen xxx color". White is fine and you have a GREAT looking car.

Can't really believe it.

It does make me a little suspicious why the delivery date has been brought forward so much though, any thoughts. Should I be worried.

Yahoooooo!! Congrats a3ndy!!!! Post some pics as soon as you get it. You guys wouldn't give me a break when mine came in. So, you're no different. I WANT PICS!!!

[CaptJack]

I took delivery of my car yesterday! I have already but in 450 miles into it by going to Atlantic City with it. The reason why I have not been around here in the past 24 hours. I was told to hold off going over 100 MpH and not to not past over 4500 RPM till the car has 1200 miles. Because of this reason I was not able to break it in the way I would really want to. But even still I love this car. I will post some pictures tomorrow.

Those are the first rela-life pic of grey leather with dark wood that I´ve seen. Thank you so much, I´ve been hesitant to order, but allways had that colour combo in mind (with black ext.). Thank you so much, it looks great.
If you have any more pics, please post.
