Alpine white with Which Leather?
Which color of merino leather works best with alpine white? I'm considering tartufo or coffee. Which trim would you blend with either color?

Alpine looks great with either of those options. Both great interior choices. I would personally choose tartufo. Coffee is a darker shade than tartufo, it really comes down to your personal preference. There are many pictures on this forum giving you examples of both interiors. I'd pair it with anthracite matte poplar wood trim.

it's a tough call. I have this thought in my head whether right or wrong> I'm an imperfect guy and I tend to be not as neat and attentive to the cabin interior like our female counterparts are. So, light color leather is out for sure. So, with alpine white exterior, I ruled out a black interior. I have always had black interiors since it hides a multitude of sins. I'm going outside my comfort zone with this choice.
So, that leaves me with coffee or tartufo. I'm thinking coffee since I think the coffee color might better mask my deficiencies than tartufo. Is the coffee merino a lighter shade of brown or a rich deeper expresso shade? |

Coffee it is.
Last question, which trim would look best with coffee merino leather? I wonder if the wood choices would detract from the leather as opposed to the black aluminum. Which choice do you find most appealing? |

I ordered Mineral White and went with Tartufo Merino, but Coffee does look good as well. I also went with matte poplar trim to soften the seat color a bit

Keep in mind, the Merino leather is considered a BMW Individual option, and so does extend your order time significantly. It's the only reason I went with the Vernasca leather (Cognac), which is good enough.

Can’t go wrong here…with either combo.
- Tartufo will look more decedent , more rich, and very good. (My vote) - Coffee will look more restrained, more reserved, and also very good. |
