Poll: Black/Silver Leather Interior or Black Leather?

So, I'm looking at a couple cars, I found a pretty nice '98 Silver, but it has the black/silver leather.

My fear is that I might grow tired of the black/silver color combo after a while, especially the white part on the steering wheel.

What say you b/s owners? Do you still love the uniqueness of the black/silver, wish you'd gotten all black instead?

Let me know your thoughts!

I believe the two tone steering wheel can become rather worn and shoddy over time. I would prefer all black including the wheel, like in mine Black is warmer in hot weather though...

Can I vote for black and blue? Subtle enough that a lot of people don't notice it at first (especially at night), but still a nice detail difference to appreciate.

I haven't seen ANY black/blue interiors in the cars I've seen, only black, or black/white. I'm afraid I'd get tired of the b/w combo, especially on the steering wheel.

My 99 has the two toned blk/white interior.People always ask if it is custom or factory done...they love it.More importantly so do I.Yes the upper part of the wheel is a pita but I had my wheel redone to exact colors by a local auto upholstery shop,did a outstanding job.Expect to pay over $350 for a good job.The seats are very durable and have no issues with them.Just condition and treat them they should last the life of the car.Imho the all blk interior on the w202 is very drab...without the two toned seats/wheel.

Thanks for the input 99CEEFOURTHREE, I'm really mixed on this. My MINI is Silver/Black, so it'd be nice to have matching, but the black/white leather is very unique. All comes down to which car is the right car at the right price.

Not my car, but same interior color as mine except I have the wood grain dash:

The black/blue is definitely interesting, I wish MB had done a black/tan combo, that would have been amazing.
