Help with interior leather choice
Here is my build and I have 9 days left before freeze date.

I am approaching my freeze date and still vacillating on the interior leather. I have opted for the slate gray but really want the chalk leather. My concern of course is the wear on the lighter color? Anyone have experience with the lighter color?

We have two months with the chalk leather and 1600 miles and zero issues.
Like a lighter leather would require, be extra careful, clean it regularly and condition it just like you would any other color leather. I think being cognizant of blue jeans and other darker material worn just having the potential to dye transfer is enough to order it and be happy.
We had the "oyster" colored interior in a 640i once and it was a little more time consuming in maintaining it, however if you know it and expect it, then it's all good.

Personally I would go Bordeaux/Black on a white car.
The yellow calipers don't look good with the gold. Pay the extra and do them black, and possibly the side stripe in black. Gold is an accept color, not one to dominate. Have fun, get what makes you smile.

My previous was a 2019 Targa 4s - White with Bordeaux interior. I am looking to change it up a little.

Just don't wear dark colored jeans, and you'll be fine.

I like the look! With the exterior theme of you car going more sporty than classic, I’d opt for Sport Text for the interior.

I think the grey interior would clash with the gold accents on your car. Chalk is a better choice. Red would be my choice (and would go well with the gold accents).

with that build a couple of thoughts:
1- not sure you've thought about it but specific to this build I think truffle would look excellent actually
2- I don't think red interiors would complement the stripes/wheels well
3- Black with chalk inserts and chalk stitching would look really good. I'd probably prefer that vs the actual chalk interior and it'll be a bit easier to maintain.
4 - last option which I would do with a white car but am waffling on a bit with this specific build is the blue interior with chalk stitching... blue/gold complement nicely so I think it would look great and its one of my favorite interiors, just hard to pair it well with colors other than white.

To go with your gold accents and wheels, I would choose truffle.

The outside is a winner no doubt, good luck with the interior. For my 2 cents, truffle does sound good with those wheels
