Hi
I have just put through an order today for new X5M competition and have ordered it with Sakhir orange interior but I'm not sure if I have made the right choice. I'm leaning now more to Silverstone or Taruma Brown.
Can anyone with Marina bay blue please give me advice please

I saw a MBB with Sakhir Orange a couple months ago. The MBB is quite bright, and the contrast has a real Superman colorway vibe to it.

I'm planning on upgrading and think I'll go with the darker Tanzanite, as I really want the Sakhir interior.

Taruma is a natural choice here as Blue/Brown is a classic combo. Silverstone might be a bit more difficult to keep clean.

The Sakhir red/orange was the reason for the Jan impulse buy of the X5MC.

Lol, same here. Went to the dealer for an early pre-lease end inspection and left with a Mineral White with Sakhir Orange.

I was just driving by the dealer with no intention of actually stopping. That's my story and I'm sticking to it.

Hi! I am looking at the same color combo MBB/Sakhir Orange that you were debating on….and I was just wondering which interior did you end up going with? And if you did go with the sakhir orange how are you liking it?

My previous 2 BMW all had red interiors and right now my X5M has black interior. I miss the red dearly! It just looks sporty and special. Black is classy but its actually more work to keep looking good. While stains doesn't show everything else does. Dust shows and over time it starts to look glossy and you have to use special products to make it look matte again.

I would do the red or maybe silverstone if had to do it over again.

I would do silverstone.. I love the white seats in my Tesla.. and surprisingly they stay super clean and are very easy to clean as well.. never had BMW silverstone so cannot comment but MBB/Silverstone contrast would be on my priority list.

I'm leaning Adelaide Gray on mine. Jeans tend to leave a blue stain on the really light seats, but the seats clean up.

Special products???? Unless you let a lot of hand oils, sunblock grease, etc. build up on the high touch areas, a lightly moistened microfiber towel rubbed over the spots and then dry it off.
Can't be much simpler than that. That would also apply to all color leather. I find black is the easiest to keep clean.

I don't know if you have made your choice already but I have the MBB exterior and the Silverstone interior, although it looks white in pictures. I think it is a fantastic color combo but the Sakir Orange is a super color for an interior though. I'm not sure how well it will contrast with the bright blue color though. The light brown color would probably be a sensible choice but I believe the Silverstone pops more. If you don't mind the white or ivory color, the ivory and blue interior would look killer in my opinion. Hope this helps.

Silverstone would look perfect on that MBB

Many thanks to all who replied to my question
I have now ordered X5M Competition MMB with Silverstone interior with the Ultimate pack.
Will update with photos when take delivery

Decided to go with MBB + all black. I like the black inside and it doesn't require much treatment. I wanted the MBB color and I was a bit afraid of the combination with SO.

I did the same. To each his own but I would go bold with either exterior color or interior, not both.
