Need help configuring a new f10

Guys im about to order a new f10 and im stuck in picking interior color.

Exterior: Sakhir Orange
I love sakhir ornage for the interior as well but don't want to clash with the exterior and don't really want black since most my cars are black inside. I want something different.

Any pics out there with sakhir orange on sakhir orange?

Any thought is much appreciated.

I think the ONLY interior for Sakhir is black especially if you're going for the full leather package. There's a lot of orange in there with full leather. Black adds the right amount of contrast and sportiness to a great exterior color choice.

That's spooky, I am in EXACTLY the same situation, exactly. I always end up with full extended black leather and was trying to get away from that but I agree that it's the only colour that I think would go as an interior colour

Have a look here for Sakhir/Sakhir, if you are lucky it might even be close to you...


The only possible solution I have come up with is going for full black leather with Sakhir stitching, below is an M3 with something similar

Like you I'm interested to hear everyone's thoughts on this situation...

You should do a search on the forum. There are quite a bit of owners I've noticed that have went with the Sakhir Orange interior (so it might not be as an exclusive color as you might think). Personally the color is not for me but to each their own.

You might want to start with the Official F10 M5 INTERIOR Photo Thread and then move on to the Official F10 M5 Color Photo Thread to give you an idea of the color combos.

If you've got more time, you can search the Auto Gespot Website for European M5 sightings. They usually list some interior shots of various colors.

I did search the forum and web but there is not much with the sakhir orange on sakhir orange. And wanted to see what other members think about this combo. I personally like to be a little different.

Another option would be Sakhir Orange with Silverstone full leather, anyone?

Silverstone interior and Sakhir exterior FTW.

There are pics of this combo in a M6 vert on this board.

I love SS leather

Yep, that's the one. Great contrast IMO.

I've seen SO with SO interior in person and for me it's way too much orange. Doesn't look classy at all...but depending on what look you're going for...

I like this idea, gives continuity between interior and exterior and just a little bit of a flair color without making it too flashy. But of course you still have a primarily black interior, which the OP seems to want to avoid.

I got to see Silverstone in person and LOVE it. It's silver but has this ice blue tone to it that makes it really pop rather than being another typical silver interior -- in fact it's similar to the Silverstone paint color, except without the green undertone. If I were buying it though, I'd do more research into how tough it is to maintain, and I've never seen it with Sakhir, though the M6 vert pic suggests it might work well.

I think with a Sakhir exterior I'd still prefer a black interior, but I'd DEFINITELY prefer a silver interior over a Sakhir interior. Orange on orange just seems not only one-note, but one very loud note. Even in the video of this combo above, I think orange inside and out makes them somehow cancel each other's boldness out. You can only have a max of one stand-out color if you actually want it to stand out IMHO.

After living with the car and having seen many of the colors in person in Munich (including a bunch of frozen colors). If I ordered again it would be:
Sakhir Orange exterior
Black regular leather interior
aluminum trim
Head up Display
BMW Apps

and that's really it.

I think Sakhir with Sakhir interior looks fantastic.

However if you want a different color, then I would recommend Champagne. Champagne pairs really well with Sakhir. Champagne is similar to the color of leather you normally see in red Ferraris. It is a butter like color.



Also if you go champagne, get full champagne. It costs $1875 more than extended champagne, but it much nicer to not have a plastic dash.

My dealer screwed up my original order and I did not figure it out until after it was in production but there is a Sakhir Orange / Silk Gray and matching alcantara headliner somewhere in the U.S.

My dealer was not willing to take the risk of me not taking delivery so they gave up the allocation and gave me the next production slot. I was not willing to wait and then get a much later production - no patience!

I have not been able to locate the car but it is out there somewhere.

Silk grey is ok, but you pay 5k for it and don't even get a leather dash. So lame and odd how BMW did that with the individual leather option.

That is why I only listed Sakhir Orange and Silverstone. Its very strange...you get more leather for $3500 than with $5000

Anyway I located one with full black merino on sakhir orange exterior
exec pack, drivers ass. pack, b & g, 20" rims MSRP 107,995

What would be the right price to offer? btw its sitting on the showroom floor

That's the perfect build (exact same as my sticker price). They should move a minimum of 2-3k on price.

Also, don't forget holiday discount, CCA membership(?), loyalty discount(?), etc on top of that.

Go for it dude, that's a hell of a ride

My dealer gave me a 5.5% discount on a custom build, with minimal options, take it or leave it right from the start, and I took it. Better than I got from other dealers and I liked the no bullshit approach. It all depends on what they think the market will bear at the moment and if there is much interest. With more of those extra cost options I'd think the dealer has more room to wiggle, price wise. Oh, and they did throw in the $2,000 holiday discount as well since it will arrive before the New Year! Good luck.
