cream leather (7 series)

[sawm24]

I have been looking at 2007 / 2006 730 sport's recently, ideally black with black leather however i am finding that cream leather seems to be more common.

Is cream seen as more desirable or is it "standard" in some way because i cant understand why so many seem to have it.

Personally think the cream in a 7 series makes the car look much nicer.
My old man had black in his 730d sport, but always preferred the cream on that car for some reason.

I think the colour you are referring to is called Oyster

cant beat cream leather and black carpets, best of both

It's think you'll find it's called Cream Beige Pearl on the E65's, it's yellower than oyster which is on the newer models. I have it in my black 730d sport and think it looks really nice, it's not a full beige interior as carpets, dash, headlining etc are still black. The OP is right it is common in E65's, I've never seen a black one with black interior

I also have Cream Beige Pearl with anthracite headlining and black carpets and I doubt for a second I could find a better combination on a black car.

Each to their own certainly but I've avoided black interiors for nearly ten years now.

They seem to be quite popular now... I had a 2002 E39 530d sport which had yellow leather and black carpets/headlining and I thought it was great, yet it seemed rather unusual when I bought it 6 years ago and drew a lot of comments.

I've got the Oyster/Black in my 3 Series, I saw an all cream interior in an open top, v nice but too creamy for my taste. Cream seat belts take a hammering as well, this particular model's were absolutely minging.

Only called Oyster on the F01 7 I think.
