That the combo I have. I was a bit surprised because I didn't realize the maple was 'open pore' until it showed up. The color and grain of the maple are good, but I did expect a gloss finish like my previous BMWs.
The piece around my center console especially is kind of rough to the touch. I wonder how well it will wear with time. Make sure you look at it with the bin/cupholder door closed--that's the biggest piece. I've only had the car a few weeks, so I'll still giving myself time to get used to it. But I am considering applying a wax if not a full varnish to the wood, assuming I can find out how to remove them safely. I think there's only four pieces of wood. |

This is the exact combo I have on order and will be picking it up in three weeks.

Not a fan of the Dakota but the color looks good. I generally prefer contrast but I do like the open pore look. The polished wood tends to look like plastic imitation.

The colors clash. It looks like a person randomly mashed some buttons in the configurator.

I see it completely the opposite way. I think the maple wood and the cognac coordinate well. I do prefer the grey wood, but I think this combination looks just fine. If the deal was good and I didn’t want to wait for a custom order I could easily live with it.

+1 The maple would look great with a black interior. If the seats only were cognac, I guess it could work. However, with the lower dash in non-black, it does not combine well IMHO.

Here is a picture of cognac with open pore oak. Call me partial but I think it ties everything together well without a lot of mismatch.

I'm in the minority who think cognac is ugly regardless

Not a fan of either the cognac or the maple. I like the open pore oak though.
I'm generally not a fan of seat (non-black) colors extending onto the dash area. |
