E92 - does Saddle Brown Dakota leather only float my boat?
Discussion
Just looking at E92s out of interest, and a national search of BMW used cars throws up only a couple of cars with Saddle Brown Dakota leather?
Is this seriously such an unpopular choice? Even the cars I did find were all, yes you guessed it, black...
Would a white or Le Mans Blue 325i Sport with the 19" wheels and Saddle Brown leather really be that much of an acquired taste that chances of finding a car of that spec will be tricky in a couple of years, when realistically I'd be in a position to buy one?
Am I the only one who likes this interior? Certainly beats drab black, garish red and ever safe grey IMO?

When I was considering getting a company car through the firm I seriously considering a 320d saloon in white with brown leather. I Like it.
When considering a used Alfa 159 last year I decided to get a red or black one with tan leather - the dealer did a search and not one car had tan leather - all black.

we did alpine white and saddle brown dakota recently in an e93 and it looked great!
personal favourite
Awesome! I'd love an E92 coupe in either white, black, silver or metallic dark grey with the interior in black with anthricite headlining and saddle brown leather. I think that interior colour combination will sit inside just about any colour of car and look great.personal favourite
My E92 is Sparkling Graphite with the Saddle interior. I chose it after seeing a Maserati Granturismo in a very similar colour combination
Apparently I was the first person to order it at my local dealer - I was told that very few people will order something without seeing it in the showroom first. Luckily, when it arrived I liked it!

I'm glad i'm not the only one who appreciates it. I guess it is just a matter of holding out for one to appear when the time does come. Again, i'm probably narrowing my options yet further by stipulating a 325 or a 330, but hey.
The wheels I can always sort afterwards if a car comes along that ticks every other box.

It does look good. I think the name puts people off even before they look at it on the options list. It more like the cinamon type leather that was in the E46 M3. I do like it. Hope you find the car/spec your after buddy!The wheels I can always sort afterwards if a car comes along that ticks every other box.
