What do you think of Sakhir interior?

[LeMansX5]

I like it but I won't be putting extended though.

Way too bright for my taste but I'm sure it looks good with a black contrast.

I actually like it. It's a risky color to go with based on images alone, so I went black.

I think the ///'s can handle the boundary-push of that color.

I'm sure the dealers aren't pushing that color as it probably limits the audience for resale or re-lease.

If someone didn't like a dark interior, they would be wise to either go wood (or aluminum, but if the trim is the same as the main piece it's faux) or change interior color from black to Sakhir on white or black colored vehicles.

My $0.02


Edit - although I just looked at Sandman's interior again and that combo is growing on me.

My interior selection was made a bit more out of necessity as our summers are pretty harsh. Sometimes in excess of 112F.

A dark interior is brutal where I live, so all of my vehicles have had light interiors. Nothing worse than burning your arse when getting into your car in the summer months.

Yes, completely understood.

We don't think of brutal summers (95 max) up here in Minnesnowta

Guess you didn't spring for the cold weather package then?

I think I would get a headache from that color interior.

Funny thing is I did get the Cold Weather for the times in Colorado.

^^ smart.

<spoiled> I have to say, after having a heated steering wheel, I would find it very difficult to want to drive a vehicle in the winter without one. </spoiled>

Wow that color is bright. It is a risky color because it is different in person and from the pictures. I have not seen it yet, but lets see..
I have a white on sakhir arriving in less then 10 days, but I may end up picking black for the interior (and maybe black for the exterior).

Our summers here in Dubai are way over 112F yet you still see many dark interiors. My X5 has black with aluminum trim, but I survived the summer with minor to no burns.

Ouch. Don't know how you guys do it. 112F is hot as hell for me and after 14 years out here, it feels like it's getting hotter every year.
