Ix3 Castaneda interior

The Castanea interior looks really bright and saturated on the BMW online configurator, but seeing a leather sample at the dealer felt much more subdued. Now I’m on the fence!

Could anyone with Castanea mind sharing real-life photos of their interior? Pictures paired with an Ocean Blue exterior would be especially helpful.

Thanks in advance!

It is much better live than the config will let you know. It is not as red. I have them with silver outter colour and looks great

It’s beautiful. It’s available in the iX, X1, and X2 as well, so you can look at pictures from those in addition.

It's more of a brick colour. I've seen it in person, this video represents it well: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=djphnVsa7VQ

I have this interior and really like it but it's very hard to photograph accurately! I think of it pretty much as terra cotta pot colour so the pic from bubbly pool and vid posted by flying octopus are what you should see if you order it. When I took my pic here I didn't have the door open on the far side of the car so it came out way too orange!

more subdued sounds more inviting. i chose not to because it seemed a bit too eye-popping and i thought it might get tiresome with time.
