Need to decide between Black and Cohiba Brown Interior

I ordered a M5 with Alpine White Exterior and Cohiba brown interior with piano black trim. I am number on list and already have production number but can still change order. I cannot decide whether interior should be Cohiba Brown with piano black trim. Full Black with piano black trim or Full Black with Aluminum trim. Like the idea of being different with Cohiba brown but also scared that i won't like it since I have never seen it in person. Black is safe way out.
Please help me out with your opinions.

Thanks

Hello, the best combo for AW, i think is:

300, X3SW, XE7

I'd go black with alum. Another member posted some pics up of the brown. I didn't really like them. They look great on the bmw build site but it didn't translate into reality for me.

Black is safe but honestly the Cohiba brown looked great in some pictures I have seen. My only complaint is the fact that the head liner is not matched with the brown.

1) ZAWT - XE7

2) X3SW - XE7

I think XE7 is better with X3SW than ZAWT.

ZAWT is great with 4BN like g8crasher's car.

That's my car in the Cohiba and it looks fantastic but honestly if you are waffling on the interior with white exterior I would go black with full leather. Moonstone and Cohiba really work well together. Cohiba with white will look great too of course but the weighing the two I would go full black leather so you don't end up with the plastic dash

Thanks it makes me feel better. It's just the pictures show the color that looks much different
from what I imagined. Hopefully that not what it looks like in real person as most pictures don't do justice. Does any one have a picture that shows accurate color in person.
