How do you feel about Singapore Gray and Cohiba brown combo?

The car is a long drive away for me, but it sounds interesting.

These things are a matter of personal taste of course.

For me Cohiba brown is too dark and I wouldn't pair it with a dark exterior. I would pair Singapore Grey with either Amaro Brown or Sakhir Orange. Or if I wanted a car with a Cohiba Brown interior I would choose a Silver paint like Frozen Silver, Silverstone or Moonstone.

Of course since it seems like you are buying out of inventory options may be limited.

u can always change exterior, so i would concentrate on interior
i really like brown interiors from bmw
amaro, cohiba both are great
if you buying from stock, definitely get it, as its quite rare colour for interior, if you ordering, pair with with tanzanite blue, or colours stealth recommended, frozen grey and any white would work as well
up 2 your taste anyways

Thanks for the responses.

I do prefer amaro, auburn, cinnamon or chestnut- the mid range browns over the darker cohiba and with this combo there is too little contrast to suit me. There are tons of blk on blk dk blue on black though so contrast isn't important to everyone.

Can't find the rest of my samples for some off reason.. but here is platinum, opal white, and graphite.

I think I drove around for while in my E60 M5 with Amaro & Black on my dash and put them somewhere in the garage.

I think this photo is misleading because it wasn't taken in natural light.

In this photo:
graphite looks like black but it is really a dark grey
Platinum looks more like champagne or Venetian beige in this photo
Opal white looks more like platinum (though platinum is darker than the white in this photo) whereas Opal white really looks more white in natural light.

OP: Check these links for the photos of Amaro Brown. Just note that it has interior and exterior individual equipment.

I just noticed the photo color is off.

The Graphite is close to black, but the photo makes it looks black.

The Opal White however is the opposite of Platinum - it's very, very white.. almost paper white.

@mstmng Thanks for the compliment. I love how the car turned out. Spent so much time designing it and working closely with Individual (great group of people). Taking delivery and seeing it for the first time was very cool.
Half the fun was designing it.

You should defiantly get an Individual M5 for the next one.

I know!!! I hate when this f#%*ing app errors. Hit send and you loose your content, go to landscape by accident while writing a post and you loose your content, and uploaded image quality is poor.

Singapore Grey and Cohiba is an amazing combination IMO. My old M5 was that combo.

Here is the link to some pictures.

Two years. Then probably go Porsche depending on what fleet they have out at that time.

Maybe another Individual M5.

It's so difficult to anticipate next car because so much changes in three years.. The new Huracán (Galardo replacement) should be out in the near future.

I went with Nutmeg interior, Sapphire Black Metallic exterior - extremely pleased with the outcome. I love earth tones with dark exteriors.

Personally no - Cohiba is more luxurious for me, I think it would go better with Alpine White or Silver. Singapore Gray to me is more sporty and i think looks best with any of the three standard colors. Im guessing a buyer backed out of this combo as i cant see a dealer ordering it.
