Couldn't disagree more - Cinnamon Brown and the light wood is a fabulous combination. Elegant and sophisticated.

Recommend anyone who orders this combo to see it in person. Anthracite, IMO, is a much better combination.

Not sure why you replied to the poster who mentioned my interior pictures. I have anthracite wood in my Cinnamon interior. (Although I agree about the light wood).

I believe the two clash badly. Nobody should buy this combo without seeing it first imo.

But you enjoy yours, thats what makes the world go round.....enjoy.

Here is Cinnamon Brown and light wood trim in my car. I love the combo but recognize that taste is subjective.

I always enjoy these debates. There is a reason that BMW and other car makers offer so many interior and exterior color combos. We all have different taste. I wanted brown saddle interior but it wasn't offered. I went to the dealership and looked at the cinnamon in person. It wasn't for me, too much of a pink hue. As long as you like what you got, all is good.

I love it and thats the Color Combo I am debating on ordering this Late Fall for an early spring Euro Delivery. Only thing that would change my mind is if I do the Napa Leather instead of the Dakota Leather. SO still tossing that one around a bit....

Got it. If Nappa then no Cinnamon Brown.

I have a 3 series with Saddle brown, and no, Cinnamon is different. Saddle Brown is a bit darker than Cinnamon. Both look awesome though. Very unique and classy.

I currently have saddle and I think the cinnamon is quite a bit darker than the saddle.

Yeah thats what I am debating. Do I want to pay $1000 more for the Napa and it only comes in Black or Black/Oyster Combo?

I thought the Dakota leather felt more durable (albeit less luxurious).

Sorry Ididn't respond sooner. Yes, I saw Space Gray with Gunmetal 19's at my local dealership. The colors complement each other well. They were factory BMW wheels. Don't know what style. Many spokes. Around 10.

Just saw a 2013 in this color combo, but with the ventilated seats. I was concerned with the hue of the cinnamon brown, but the ventilated seats tone down the color a little and make it look amazing. About to place an order for a 2013 550i Carbon Black ext/Cinnamon interior. I use to have a 2008 550i with Saddle Brown which was an amazing Color Combo. What made it better than the current cinnamon brown color combo is the bottom of dash was black and the center and door arm rests were also black. This only had the seats and the leather door inserts in saddle brown, which was my preference. I wish that was the case now, but will still go with the Cinnamon Brown.
