Arctic Grey with Cognac - need some suggestions please

Congrats Rondi. My previous E70 was BSM. It’s aged very well. Wanted it for G05 I ordered but didn’t have Cognac interior. Settled with second best, Sophisto Grey/Cognac. Happy…

We just got a 2022 Arctic Grey with MSport, extended shadow line and Cognac a couple weeks ago. Looks great. We have the matte finish wood inside. Replaced our 2018 in Mineral White.

MikeElmendorf congratulations. Are you really happy with the color during daylight vs not? Do you notice more color tones during various lighting situation?

I like the color all around, really. It’s interesting and goes from blue to gray depending on the lighting. My 2021 M550 is Bluestone, which is similar but maybe not as interesting. The Arctic Gray is a little darker than I would like in terms of maintaining it—Bluestone is probably a better balance for me in that regard—but on simple aesthetics, the Arctic Gray probably wins.

Hi everyone,

As a fellow x5 owner of this distinguished Arctic Grey club. I am going to get my vehicle fully wrapped in PPF to protect ongoing road rash. The dilemma I am having right now, is whether or not to go with xpel clear PPF or matte PPF. I would like to get some group's suggestion to help me make up my mind. Thanks

Looking for a new X5 arctic gray with cognac.
Open to AW or MW but not black or anything else.
Replacing 2016 alpine wine with coffee. Best car ever but almost 6years old and 44k miles.
Question?
Is cognac the same color as tarfuro only different leather?
The dealer calls everthing cognac.

Cognac for Verona’s o, tartufo for merino. Tartufo is a bit more rust colored and cognac is more orangey.

Just got X5 with tartufo and looks good. Could go for coffee or tartufo.

I got cognac on my AG, it's beautiful - which is my personal opinion.
