AW with Savanna Beige Interior

Hi everyone, I'm new here, just signed up.

I'm ordering my 135i coupe next week, and want in it Alpine White. I can't decide between Boston Black and Savanna Beige for the leather interior. While I absolutely love the Savanna Beige as seen online, I can't figure out if it'll look too "blah" in the white car, or if it will look like a mommy/grandma's car. Generally I don't like tan interiors if paired with white because it reminds me of a car my mom would drive, but given that the savanna beige has a lot of black in it, I'm thinking it might actually be pretty cool.

Anyway, I spent the whole night last night searching the forum for pictures, and wasn't really able to find any high quality ones that would assist me. I was looking for pictures that showed the interior and exterior at the same time. I know what the interior looks like and know what the exterior would look like, but wanted to see both of them together (like a picture taken from far away with the doors/windows open perhaps.

Anyone care to share such pictures, PLEASE?

Thanks!

A simple search for Savannah will get you a number of posts with pictures. Here's one I found...

I like Savannah (actually all the colors looks good on AW) but I ended up going with black. The black will look better for longer and I was worried that I'd tire of coral after awhile. It's impossible to get sick of black.

i like the savanna, but had the same concerns as you... i went with coral instead, no regrets.

i think black is boring with white. I always get white cars, and black was cool, but I really enjoy getting 2 toned interiors.

if my last car wasnt AW on sadle brown (3 series) I would have been all over the Terra Brown.

wow I guess I skipped that topic when searching..

It does look good but I can't make up my mind, I'd have to see it during daylight.

The advantage with getting black seats is that indeed they go well with everything, you can't get tired of them, and it's not going to get nearly as dirty.

Does anyone out there with lighter leather seats find it to get very dirty, or is the maintenance rather simple?

I'm not a big fan of red interiors.. I'm either going to go with the black or the savanna.

My only other concern with the savanna apart from it getting too dirty is that it might look like a mom's car haha.. Not sure if it makes any sense, but I've always thought white cars with tan interiors were for moms. This one seems to be an exception since it's actually two tones, but any opinions on this?
