G26 San Remo Green - Interior color?

I'll be placing an order for an M440i GC in the coming weeks. I love San Remo Green but I can't decide which interior color to go with.

Is the Vernasca leather worth it? I've heard the Sensatec is pretty good.

Are ventilated seats worth it (only available with Black or Mocha Vernasca)? Ventilated seats are only $350 more if I go with Black/Mocha Vernasca but I've heard they mess with the overall comfort of the seats?

Oops, I forgot to mention Oyster Vernasca as an option as well!

I'd go with Cognac or Mocha. As far as the Vernasca, I have it in my 2021. I did not care for the Sensatec, but they changed it for the 2022 year. If I was to get a 2022 I'd be fine with the Senesatec. IMO it's much nicer than the past years.

For me, I'd go with a lighter color with the green. I would also pay the extra funds and get any additional options available now since they are always cheaper during the build vs afterwards

What about beige sensatec? Is it available on the G26. That would look pretty good with SRG.

I ordered it on my G23 and I'm hoping it looks great...

The perforated sensatec is really nice, you should go check it out at a dealer, it's in the 5 series as well. After checking it out in person I went with sensatec on an otherwise loaded m340, feels a bit more comfortable to me. Vernasca is okay but nothing to really write home about as far as leather is concerned, should just go with whatever option has the color you want.

Cognac, beige/oyster and mocha go best with that green imo, black always works too though if you can't decide.

I think I'm leaning Oyster after going through all the options again. Nice contrast against the green without being too dark. Beige leans a little too yellow for me imo.

Yeah I'd do the same if I was going green. The other colors are too dark which kind of muddy the color combo and drown out the green. White is a good neutral color with a good contrast that's makes the look crisp and fresh and the exterior/interior are more prominent to the naked eye. Oyster is the closest to white so I'd go with that.

I was going to go with Sensatec but decided to get the Vernasca in the end. I've been really happy with it so far (only had the car for close to two weeks). On the green, I would go with Mocha. I love that color with any of the jewel colors for exterior. It would look awesome with the San Remo.

That looks great. I'm pretty impressed with the new, perforated sensated. I didn't care for the older version at all.

yeah I think it's nicer then the vernasca in my parent's X3 m40i, equal (if not softer) to the touch and has more elasticity so you sink into the cushioning more. If I didn't know it was sensatec I'd have assumed it was a nice leather

I'd go with the cognac Sensatec. Reminds me of those 60s Jaguars in British racing green over tan.

Any color works but I love contrast. I'd go oyster or cognac sensatec. San Remo is amazing

I have sensatec in my g26 but I wish I got the leather. When I get in my friends x6m I like the smell and feel of his better. I don't know if you can even get the kind of leather he has in ours but I'm sure the leather smell would be there all the same.

that's merino leather in the X6M, obviously you'd take that over anything else cause it's amazing leather. Vernasca is fine, nowhere near on the same level though.

I love those too which is why I'm going with San Remo, the cognac just feels a little too orangey. Saddle Brown from the E90 era would be perfect.

I ordered my 2022 M440i Cab in SanRemo Green. I liked the Oyster but read a lot of comments about staining. I really liked the cognac interior with the SRG but it was not available in Canada. Like Nojomojo I felt the mocha was too dark - especially in a convertible. I ended up ordering the BMW Individual Tartufo Merino Leather. I pick the car up this month (after an almost 10 month wait). The good news is it will nearly be convertible weather here soon. Can't wait.

The Tartufo Merino leather was a $2,250 option in Canada.
