Mojave is actually brown...

I configured my 2011 X3 35i With deep sea blue exterior, aluminum accented interior, and mojave leather. I'm quite pleased with the results

for people considering the mojave leather: the picture above does not accurately represent the color of mojave leather. the picture makes it look gray. in real life it is brown-gray.

Looks brown on my monitor - I would classify as sort of a milk chocolate color.

The dealer set our car in the showroom for a couple of days before we picked it up and said he sold two more with the mojave interior because once people saw it in person they loved it.

I couldn't be happier how it came out and am loving the car as well.

Wow thanks for posting the picture. I like it with the red exterior. This is probably the way I'll get mine configured.

I would agree with the post above, this pic is pretty close to the actual color (MacBook Pro screen) . I admit, it looks pretty good with no-sale red on the exterior..

I ordered my X3 28i with sparkling bronze metallic and mojave leather and made SURE that I had the sports activity package so that I would have the anthracite headliner because if I didn't I think it would have looked very weird with the lighter headliner... Anyone agree???

I would be more concerned about looking like an updated UPS vehicle with that color combo....

I have the bronze/mojave/SAP combination and it looks great IMHO. I got the SAP for the sports seats and not for the headliner color, however, so I can't comment how it would look with the lighter headliner.

I'm close to ordering and I am 99% sure I am going with the vermilion red exterior and the mojave interior. Thanks to all here for posting their thoughts and their color combinations!

I have the Mojave with Titanium Silver & brushed aluminum trim. I think the Mojave looks great with this combination. I also have the SAV package, so I have the anthracite headliner. Initially, I was concerned about how the brown and black would look, but now that I have it, I think it looks great. As others have said, it is a brown-gray tone. I did get a swatch from the dealer, however the leather in the car was quite a bit lighter than the swatch or sample in the brochure. Pics below. Since taking these pics, I treated the leather with a conditioner that made it about a shade darker and it looks fantastic - just a little bit richer brown color.
