According to BMW's "recommended" color combinations, all Individual exterior colors go with Sakir Orange interior EXCEPT Amazonite and Champagne Quartz. For non-Individual exterior colors, the only exception is Havanna. Honestly, though, some of those "recommended" combinations seem totally unappealing!

Of course, I thought Cohiba with Amazonite would look nice, but BMW doesn't recommend the combination.

Just remember it's not actually "red," it just photographs that way.

Some people like it with white but I think that looks terrible.

To be honest I'm not a fan of that color. Not sure Blue and Orange are a good combination. Also think Imperial is a nicer color than Azurite.

Frozen Black would work better with orange.

I was going to say the same thing. Azurite Black is too blue. Blue and Orange....eh.

Better than Volvo's Sonic Blue with Atacama interior....

Black as it is does not look good at all on the M5 in my opinion, I went through the official colors thread and the azurite looked pretty good to me.
what other colors do u think would look nice with orange how about moonstone or citrine black?

Citrine Black would be excellent with Sakhir Orange.

I don't think Moonstone would be very good. With Moonstone, you really want either Amaro Brown or a Bordeaux Red leather.
