You guys can't figure this out??
Got to BMWUK. Configure a 1 - it can be had with Terra (lucky Brits). Now configure an X3 - it can be had with Terracotta. Different colors!

Ok, one more time. The brown color in the 135i is Terracotta. PERIOD! No matter where you are, it's the EXACT SAME COLOR. It IS NOT the same color you can get on the X3 anywhere.

If you look at the configurator for the UK, it's the exact same option code (LWB8) that we get here.

Had terracota on a flamenco red X3, have coral red on a cashmere 128, the red had worn better and looks better with time. Both are nice, the red is more striking.
