    Blk/Blk or Blk/Tan?

    What do most people prefer? I currently have a black 325is with a Natur tan interior, and something about it just doesn't sit right with me. Considering giving it a fresh black interior, but I'm just worried it will be too much black. Black ext., black int., black tinted windows, what do you guys think?
    Thanks

    I have black on black 1989 325is so does my brother. His is 1988 325is though. Loving it except on hot summer days, but then our summers are not as hot, not sure about your place.

      Summers get pretty hot here, but are relatively short. Not like where I used to live in FL. Black in general is just bad there.

      You don't ever feel like the car is just too much black?

        Black on black is sexy! I do like some contrast though. Natur is nice, taurusrot and cardinal are my preferred interiors for black exterior. I like tan too. I guess I don't know.

              Black on cardinal is nice, I like my blk/blk '89 most of the time.

                Lots of good thoughts, thanks guys. Maybe I'll just stick with tan since its factory and will therefore be less work. I'll probably like it better with minty fresh seats!

                  i have black on tan. Love the contrast and it always looks "cleaner" than black interiors.

                      Depends on which tan, sometimes the contrast make the leather look darker and dirty. But most common combo is black/black or if you wanna look hot blk/cardnial or taurusrot for its darker color.

                        I like Black on Black. I'm doing mine Black with some red trim thrown in. I don't care for tan . It just says old man car to me.

                          I think black on tan is cool, but only because it's DIFFERENT from what I'm used to. when my mama bought my 325is in 87 the salesman said that the black on black was 'very european' so thats what she got. I wonder what it would look like with red stitches though....
