Is the Golden Brown leather similar to Cinnamon from the E46 M3?

avi8tir · 04-07-2016, 04:03 PM

Had cinnamon in my E46 and loved it.... the Golden Brown looks similar.

Anybody seen them both?

SakhirM4 · 04-07-2016, 04:10 PM

I think Cinnamon looks more orange

Naz24 · 04-07-2016, 06:16 PM

Sakhir orange is closer to cinnamon.

Damn, now youre reminding me how beautiful cinnamon was, perfect combo of brown and orange

Wait...what? Sakhir closer than golden brown? Really?

Tobes · 04-07-2016, 06:30 PM

I don't know.....I thought golden brown looked pretty cinnamony.

Adcampo · 04-07-2016, 06:35 PM

I think SO looks red, cinnamon looks like golden (more orange) and amaro is like saddle brown. I have amaro BTW.

KevinM · 04-07-2016, 09:59 PM

It's the closest thing to Cinnamon that I've seen. That is why I ordered Golden Brown on my MG F80.

The Automotive Enthusiast · 04-07-2016, 10:01 PM

I'm not a fan. We've sold two G12's with them and a couple 4 series with it optioned. I will try and see if we have a car with it optioned on the lot and post them.

STOOF · 04-07-2016, 10:07 PM

I have cinnamon and sakhir interiors parked outside side by side and they arent even close.

Sakhir is Orange-Red
Cinnamon is dark brown.

Never saw Golden to compare.

Side by side, Amaro is football, Golden is leather basketball colored.

Sounds right from seeing pictures. And Id say cinnamon is darker football so youre prob better getting amaro.

Yep, I have Amaro and love it. I've seen them side by side. BMW Seattle has huge 3'x3' samples of each individual color.

Im happy with my SO/SO but i sorta wish i did YMB/Amaro

BwoodBMW · 04-07-2016, 11:05 PM

Golden brown is amazing and definitely the closest you can get to cinnamon, which is why I love it. If it wouldn't have screwed up my ED timing I would have done full GB

KevinM · 04-08-2016, 12:27 AM

Here are some good pictures.

Golden brown is nice but looks nothing like my cinnamon. Golden has an orange hue to it. Cinnamon doesn't. I'll take pictures of it tom.

JTO24 · 04-08-2016, 06:33 AM

Golden brown is as close to cinnamon as you'll get with standard offerings. It's a little more orange than cinnamon but pretty close.

A TZB or AZB over GB car will look pretty similar to a carbon black over cinnamon e46 M3..

Exactly right. I badly want Golden Brown, but it just doesn't work with AY

If BMW decides to add a true red or another blue towards the end of the life cycle, then that might sway me away from AY.

Adcampo · 04-08-2016, 07:03 AM

Here's a pick on my car. Amaro Golden and Cinnamon off the internet.[IMG][/IMG]

Adcampo · 04-08-2016, 07:09 AM

I forgot SO. I forgot how orange Cinnamon is. Amaro and Golden look quite different in person, but they look so similar in these pictures.

DslDwg · 04-08-2016, 07:50 AM

^ Agreed - Amaro and Golden are definitely not the same in person. I'd say similar darkness but Golden is much more orange while Amaro is closer to saddle IMO. Have not seen Cinnamon in person but from the pictures looks a bit darker.

This is my Golden brown Vert. Wouldn't trade it for anything but I wouldn't match with every exterior either.

Could it be that they changed cinnamon?

My F10 with cinnamon brown looks nothing like that. Mine is more football color.
