Light-coloured interiors!

[AMGeed]

That is like wearing a black belt with brown shoes (or vise versa). Not done.

So you don't like this then?

That looks great.

Saddle Brown. I had the same in my Shooting Brake. I grew to love it.

Saddle brown and black trim wouldn't be my first choice, I'm afraid. We've had an almond beige interior in our S212 for 8 years now - hasn't been that hard to look after. The carpets are black, obviously. It's quite easy to find BMWs with light-coloured interiors and MB did them until about 2017 or so.
It would seriously put us off an S213 if all we could have is a black/grey interior. When we were talking to MB Tonbridge about an AllTerrain, the principle was all for getting an interior re-coloured for us...

Nope. Not a fan of brown colours in cars. Preferred this but I'm sure many will dislike it.

 

[SL63 Mark]

I like it, anything but black for me. We have had black interiors in all our company cars over the years, I find it boring.

And claustrophobic!!

Like everybody else I am not a fan of all black interiors...always better with a bit of colour in there to brighten things up.
Mine divided opinion, but Boofle and I loved it.

I'd love a nice light interior, but the home boss says that its 'old man' . I say I am an old man but she always wins.

Yep, that's very nice!

It took me a long time to find a light interior car but the wait was worth it. I find that lighter interiors make the car feel more spacious and I have not found the upholstry any harder to keep clean although other lighter parts need more work. Luckily the floor is black.

My other dislike is privacy glass, it makes the interior seem more gloomy especially on a cloudy day.

What are people doing in the back of their car that requires privacy glass? I'm rarely bothered by the paparazzi these days

Ditto - I think it looks stupid.

I like the privacy glass in my ML ...
I've never noticed it being "gloomy" in the back.

Our estate has 'privacy glass' and it's horrid. Spoils the side profile of the car, and it is very gloomy for those sitting in the back. The dogs don't mind it, however... We would seriously consider looking for normal glass from a breakers and getting it swapped over.

I've never had complaints from the rear seat passengers in either this car or the previous that also had it.

Get one with a pano roof.

I neither like or dislike mine. I was a standard fit and I had no choice. I have never had any complaints from rear seat passengers either.

Conversely, our passengers in Provence last week both commented on the car windows obscuring the colours of the countryside we were driving through.

It is practical - our car does not have it, our grandkids sometimes complain about the sun in their eyes and it is cooler for the dog. IMO it does not look very nice.
