My biased conclusion from all of this is that we fall in to three camps:

1) Those who like the 'everything black' look 8)
2) Those who like the 'old man's car with wood in it' look - Clearly the winner :dance
3) Those who like to be a bit different! :lol:
So, does this count as 2 or 3? It’s got wood. 🤔😆

I'm afraid that's the point at which 'I'm out'. Looks a bit like someone has let their toddler loose with the crayons.... :D

I'm with Jules on that one. I must say I do not like the steering wheels being interfered with either wood or multi-colour - a no no from me!

Is this really Malachite? It looks far too dark compared to the e30 colour. Maybe it’s just the photo.

As for colour combos, I have had a lot of cars with black leather interiors and now find it quite boring especially in a black car. So y have I bought #193, well carbon is nearly blue and the sunroof makes the interior so much lighter.

Recently I have really started to like olive, especially in a silver or white car.

Definitely Malachite - the only E61 B5 in this colour. Different pic attached from when recently at Birds that shows a bit better :)

While I appreciate the craftsmanship t9 make the dual tone interiors, not for me. Not seen a single combo I like.
In all green it would look a lot better to my eye.

I agree, it’s different and I think it suits the Alpina brand.

I still lust over G31 B5 #557
