Agreed. While this metallic brown exterior looks surprisingly good, I think that Black with Dark Red interior would match better in this case.

There is no right or wrong with anyone's color selection as it is simply a matter of different strokes for different folks!

PS, I personally love an orange interior.

Haven’t seen brown since the 80’90’s Buicks and Oldsmobiles. This looks good. Respect on taking a chance. Green came back in recent years, why not brown..

WOW, what a colour, beautiful! Have fun with it. Does the M5 on the door light-up? Or did BMW cheapen up with that too!

Car picked up today morning and is already being fully PPFed. MPerformance parts are being installed as well.

Can’t wait to get the car back from the procedures and start breaking it in!

Let me know what you guys think about it - I’m speechless, to say the least.

Nice to see the brown options continue. My 2017 750Li is a darker shade of brown - ‘Jatoba Brown Metalic’
The browns are very elegant and a refreshing direction!
Well done, indeed!

That’s why I mentioned that in my opinion orange interior is a very questionable choice, and feel it clashes with the brown paint. It’s my subjective opinion.

Orange interior matches great with Brown because they are on the same color spectrum and Brown is actually very dark orange. It’s a little bit more than just being subjective. Sure people may prefer a different combo but to say this clashes isn’t really true.

Nice build!

as a fellow Macadamia owner (albeit on a different brand), I approve of this immensely.

Very good comment, youre correct that brown is just dark orange and indeed the match is very good. My macadamia is on a black interior, and I always wish I had a beige or brown one because of the contrast it offers. Porsche never sold just brown interior black everything else though, and I dont like their all brown or all natural leather interiors as its too much. Just the seats though one has to go custom, again not doing it. But OP here did a very good combo, Im only not sure about black rims as may be some other color would look good (obviously matte bronze wheels suit brown car, but may be it looks too much).

And for those who wonder about red / yes red would look great, just as well, so would white, or light beige, or brown, or frankly, blue would look killer also on brown. Brown is very underrated, macadamia brown metallic is a PTS color today in porsche range, but just an extras option back in 2009-11 on 997.2 models of 911, and launch color of 911 Carrera S 997.2.

Custom wheels are coming around spring, and will definitely match the car perfectly! These ones are just going to be winter ones.

Just got to shake your head with that color choice. I guess you can wrap it.

Spectacular color. Understated and elegant. Congratulations!

Absolutely love browns, particularly on a car like the m5.
Though I might be biased—here’s my brown f90 when it was new

I don't see this option in the US configurater.
is this European only or can I just specify when ordering?
I was actually waiting on more Individual Options for this car.
