Excellent choice of cars, I recently had a CG for a long weekend it was very nice. Contrast stitching is now standard and the Sat nav improvement was very noticeable compared to my Vert! X5 is very different, but amazing. We swapped to an X6 last year, but my good lady wants us to swap back as it's not as practical. Enjoy, congratulations.

Thread jack...

I wonder what the Cinnamon Brown Nappa Leather would look like with this exterior color?
Mash11 - did you look at this color combo at all?

I am really pleased the spec suggestions worked for you. These things are very individual driven but the stock 6 GCs are dogs and not worth the ££ premium over a well-specced 530d; but a correctly specced 6GC is entirely in another league.

The Cinnamon Brown - Tanzanite Blue combo would have been awful. The Ivory White allows the color to pop!

Another thing: see your car parked alongside the 5er - it is a good 2" lower. Lots of envious glances from 5er drivers, get used to it!!

My two kids (10 and 12) will make sure that White is not popping after a short while. So I need either black or the brown (don't want to pay $3,500 for the Champagne).

I've seen lots of blue/brown color combos. Not 100% sure it is my cup of tea, at the same time, curious why you think it would be awful?

Cinnamon brown with deep sea blue is killer.

Agreed. That's what I have and nothing but complements. DSB and TB are close enough that I am sure TB would look grest with the CB interior.

Only as long as you're getting the Nappa. The Dakota "cinnamon brown" had this weird pinkish hue to it that just doesn't work. Since I didn't splurge on the Nappa, went with Dakota black with my DSB. (Love the blue!)

This is my second car with Cinnamon brown. it's different and a stunning contrast, That's the reason why I chose it received plenty of positive comments, However it's down to personal choice and preference.

Its down to personal choice and for me, it doesnt quite work - clearly for several of you it does and I am glad we can get what we want.

Agree the Dakota Cinnamon Brown is not as good as the Nappa due to the hue.
Its a pity Cohiba Brown is an expensive individual leather option (£5400 ) because that is the brown I would have in a snap!

Anyone know about the ease of trading in red and brown leather options?
My dealer strongly recommended against it - saying it knocked off ££££s of the trade-in value for Vermillion Red and CB in particular. Vermillion Red Nappa leather had been my original spec.

Slightly pointless post, sorry.

Nice pics in the sun!!! I keep wondering if I should go all in and get an M6, but seeing great pics of the 640 M-sport makes me think otherwise. Carbon Black 640 MSport or Singapore Grey M6...hmm....again, great pics!

Looks really nice . Am contemplating Ruby Black vs Tanzanite Blue... and looking at your pix, I am convinced that Tanzanite Blue is the way to go!
