Would you get grey interior?

The answer to that question is no.

Problem with grey interior is that when it gets dirty it looks 20 years older than it is.

Not a fan personally. If it was grey leather only with black plastic everything else, that would be much better in my book, but BMW likes to make EVERYTHING grey/beige except the steering wheel and top of the dash on their grey/beige interiors.

In my opinion, black is the only way to go for interior.

Yuck. No, nyet, not a chance.

I wouldn't get a silver car, given a choice, with a single exception. A silver Cayman with navy blue interior would completely float my boat.

My first 335i was exactly that combo. TiAg with Grey interior; while it's not everyone's cup of tea, I thoroughly enjoyed it.

Granted I enjoy my coral red interior far more, I'm personally of the mindset that just about anything is better than plain ol' black interior. I'm an extremely clean person and I love to have my things looking as clean as possible all the time. Now that I have a husky puppy however, doing so is nigh impossible on a daily basis since I take him with me almost every where, lmao.

Point being, if it's your personal DD with no pets, transporting many people, etc., then go for it! If you're a little less OCD than me about 'mess', transport pet(s) frequently and or people, I'd probably recommend not going with such a color for interior.

definitely, cousin has it, looks great.

I of course have the coral red, and for years thought that was "the" only color to get. Honestly, there are a lot of nice colors, I just think black is too common and would be "out" for me. Had a F30 loaner with what I think is saddle (light brown) and it looked nice too.

Nope, grey looks old even when new. I prefer either saddle brown, coral red, or black.

I don't like silver outside or grey inside, so no.

The only time I like lighter colored interiors is when the dash top and carpets are still dark. My car has the oyster Dakota leather but it's still mostly a black/charcoal interior with the light colored leather only on the seats and door panel accents.

Gray and black are boring. While black looks nice, gray kind of looks plain and old from the beginning. But colored leather like brown and red are my favorite.

Silver w/gray interior was what was on my last loaner, a 320i. The shoe fit.

For me, interiors only come in three colours. Black, black or black.

That looks nice with the black, there was a car that i was looking at and it was silver on grey and it just looked... awful for some reason, maybe it was just the pictures.
