I had ivory (elfenbein weiss) in my f15. Really liked the look. Also makes the car lighter.

I didn't have any problems keeping the seat clean with my young children. They were still in child seats. The only issue I had was keeping the back of the front seats clean. They are hitting their feet against it. Might be worthwhile to buy some protection.

I would have never bought it if the low part and carpets were white too. That must be a horror to keep clean. I know my self and kids.

I went back to black. Because I liked black this time.

I have that combo... it definitely looks very nice

Since you're considering Ivory, I'd strongly recommend Ivory white/Night Blue. That blue dashboard, upper door trims, and blue Alcantara make the car

BMWSAC that really is a superb combo! I'd have had that if I'd been able to have it on the Sports seats vs. the Comfort seats. Very nice indeed.

We also have the blue/white interior and it is a showstopper. Everyone who's seen it or gotten in the vehicle has commented on it. I wish BMW would offer more two-tone options, but this combination along with the headliner, dashboard and steering wheel is simply stunning.

I had Ivory interior in my F10 550 and I never loved it. In pics (at the time) made it look whiter but in reality it is def. more off white. My ocd tendencies made me wipe down the interior each time i drove it especially if anyone wore denim. After 3 years i did have some dye transfer in the driver seat. Something to consider. For the F95 there's so many nice colors to choose from Ivory wouldn't be my top choice. Just my 2cents.

I tried the build the ivory/blue on a 2021 45e. You can still spec the matching headliner, but the dash and door tops are black. Not sure I like it like this.

Matching blue alcantara headliner only works if you option full (not available for MY21 X5s) ivory/blue merino, otherwise select anthracite alcantara headliner to match extended ivory/blue.

Thanks, I can't get comfortable in BMW sports seats except M seats, guess that's why these are called comfort seats haha. And two tones is a must for me

Do you also have full Merino with matching Alcantara? With the right wood trims, very nice!

I wish BMW used the blue more, around the mid console and armrest area.

Yes we have full blue/white Merino, with the matching alcantara headliner. The steering wheel and upper dashboard have a hint of dark blue in them. I absolutely love the interior. Needless to say, nobody is allowed to eat or drink anything in it lol

Ivory non two tone is a very weak colour from BMW, with the wrong trims, the interior look like a tried ACURA RL or Infiniti.

Opal White, Smoke White or Silverstone are where it's at (with matching Alcantara roof liner of course), one of my F15 individuals:

Agreed with you, given the other colours offered on F95, Ivory White wouldn't be my first pick

haha, nice. I've already had my first meal in it last night

Sorry to tell you, only the 8 Series have the matching blue steering wheel, X5, X6 and X7 all have black, which is a bummer

I can try to upload some pics tomorrow.... I did do a ceramic coating on the interior.... this is my 3rd X5 I had the tartufo, black and now ivory... I can say for far so good... I was worried it would be a hassle to keep it clean.... but I wore jeans once... I used leather cleaner on the seats after and the blue came right off... just be on top of it.

This comment is a bit strong, insulting perhaps, to those who chose and love their Ivory interior.

And I completely disagree. I have the Ivory (non-two tone) and think it looks great. Everyone who sees it says its absolutely beautiful.

Best to leave this comment out and just go with your second.

You think any high fashion designers would find any comments "strong"?! can you imagine what we would have on the runways, in the shops, and on people's backs if everyone was like "oh yeah, that's nice..., I don't know, not bad... sure, why not..."??? What's with this "culture", you need more babying time? What's insulting is if I made comments about your appearances, bank account, orientation, your being... not something you chose and I dislike! You finding my opinion insulting is insulting!

Not everyone is smart, rich, and has impeccable taste, so what? Don't like what you read, consider it inapplicable to you, carry on and read whatever makes you happy.

And I absolutely disagree, I see Ivory white as one of the weakest colours offered by any car makers and furniture manufacturers, and that's a dig at the people who designed and offered it in the first place. You love it? Good, but that doesn't give you the right to stop others from disliking it and calling it a weak colour. cool

All good. I'm just tired of black interior. Also, my wife's m4 already has the red interior. So why not go all out with the ivory!

Enjoy it!

I was the same way after black in my F34 and G30. VAEW Ivory extended was my second choice after ZAEI ivory white/night blue.
