Ordering a Frozen Black M3 ZCP this weekend. Amaro or Golden Brown? Can't decide!

Hi everyone. So since I miss my Frozen Black M4 so much, an opportunity arose for me to order a Frozen Black M3 since I need the sedan this time around.
I'll be getting the Competition Package, Lighting, Exec and some others.
I'll be ordering full individual leather. The only thing I'm torn between is do I go for Amaro Brown or Golden Brown? Which do you guys think would look better with the Frozen Black exterior and carbon fiber trim? Thanks in advance!

Good call on adding the photos for reference!

Amaro Brown (stolen from someone, I apologize in advance):



Golden Brown (also stolen, sorry bout that):

You know I thought about that also but my M4 was Sahkir Orange. As stunning and beautiful as it was, I don't necessarily want to be staring at the same dashboard & seats for another couple of years. The other option I thought of was maybe Silverstone leather but I'm scared of the maintenance of it.

Black or Silverstone full inside. Maybe add individual stitching.

Just added although they look so similar in those photos. Now I'm even more confused!

Here is another golden brown from a member's convertible:

I was thinking the exact same thing for a suggestion. My first choice would be black with stitching. Not sure on the stitching color. Fire red is pretty slick Perhaps it depends on planned mods...If you are dead set against the black I think silverstone would be pretty unique.

Good luck on your build!

I'm partial to Amaro which I have on my Azurite Black M4, but I think the cinnamon/reddish tinge of the Golden Brown would go better with the Frozen Black. Either way you can't go wrong!

Amaro! That contrast of the lighter brown just sets it all off. Definitely need to keep the tint below 70 to show it off

I agree with Justin.

If you are doing an interior like SO or Amero, don't tint your car too dark. Go 3M Crystalline and do maybe 50 or 60.

The pictures illustrate the problem...golden brown and amaro can look almost identical in pictures, depending on the lighting. I was only able to make a decision based on numerous photos and opinions that GB is somewhat similar to the Cinnamon color that was available for the E46 M3.

Fortunately, both colors are fantastic and will both look great with frozen black. I personally think the lighter GB will go a bit better with a black exterior.

Amaro, but the problem is that you are doing a sick Sporty color on the outside and then picking a Brown that is classy on the inside, it kinda clashes. not really but still .
you should do something out of the box, like an Imola red.
