But now I'm thinking about individual leather. Amaro was my favourite, but I actually like the Cohiba Brown as well. It's dark and the maintenance should be OK, but there's still some contrast with the black parts of the interior. And it should look nice with the white contrast stiching.

Are there any pictures of Cohiba in the M3/M4?
Don't worry about the maintenance. Enjoy the color and just keep an eye on it. No blue jeans. Take it from me...Ivory interior. I still enjoy it though.

Yep - Amaro Brown is the way to go but I may be bit biased - honestly though I found that Cohiba (which i considered for a long time) tends to have a slight or not so slight purplish hue in many light conditions which i def did not like. The Amaro can look washed out in harsh light but otherwise is very sharp - some pics of my Vert with Individual AB and Piano Blk trim:

One of favorite color combos. But I feel like it just doesn't fit an m3. I would love it on a m5 or x5

I've found only pics of M4 convertibles with Cohiba brown interiors.

This is a good representation of Cohiba.

FYI, the other, slightly more red, leather is Criollo Brown, and the paints are Flamenco Red, Moonstone and San Marino Blue

Moonstone with Criollo would be sweet! Very classy.

Ok, found one of the F80. Looks actually nice. It's maybe more subtly than Silverstone or Amaro, but the maintenance shouldn't be much harder than black and you got at least some contrast with the rest of the black parts of the interior.

Nice overhead shot! What are those rear "push down" things in the center of the back seat?

Can't go wrong with Amaro Brown

I thought Cohiba was just a tad too dark to have the brown/black contrasting leather. . . If the whole dash/doors were Cohiba I think it would have been a little better. Amaro is light enough that there is still some good contrast (I'm a sucker for contrast!) and plus it looks full titties IRL.

Thx! The black folded down doors in the center of the backset cover pop-out drink holders (at least I think that is what you are referring to?).

Agree completely with Cohiba if chosen as better as a solid color all round - as a two tone option the pairing color would have to be very light, perhaps even white, but again, would not work for me.
