Need help with color choices on order

I’m going with Donington Grey because I am going to wrap it with Xpel Stealth and switch it to Matte Donington but I am really torn between Silverstone Full leather or Aragon Brown full leather. What do you guys think? Windows will be tinted and I plan on adding a bunch of Carbon Fiber accessories.

I'm partial to the silverstone as I had it on my m3. I ordered my f90 with silverstone as well. You do have to do a little bit more to keep it clean, but nothing more than wiping it down when there are obvious stains. I honk the contrast with donnington is great with silverstone and it makes inter carbon fiber pop a bit more.

get something different. If your gonna spend 3-4 k on a xpel why not go with a custom color?

I would choose Aragon versus SS due to the maintenance the latter requires.

I actually love the Donington and have it on my X6M. I just always wanted that color in matte but didn't want to have to worry about the upkeep of matte finish paint. Maybe I will look at some other colors but leaning towards Matte Doinigton

This is what I am thinking as my current X6M I believe has the Aragon interior or something very similar so I think I need to look at a different color every day.

I had SS on my two F10s, the maintenance is not bad at all. I had to apply leather cleaner no more the 2 or 3 times a year. And it’s a DD for me.

I've had 4 M5's to date and 19' M5 Comp on order. 3 with Black Interior, 1 SS and Aragon on the 19' on order.

SS was difficult for me to keep clean, it was always dirty and drove me nuts.

Not saying it's not possible to keep clean but nowhere near as easy as dark colors that tend to hide more.

Agree, up until my F10s I always did black interiors. But for me I’d say at least 80%, if not 90%, if my miles are just me in the car.
