    White with a tan interior is a very nice combination, but yes it is rare. Typically if you see a white BMW, they are rare to begin with, they typically have a black interior. If you can option it, get a darker shade of Tan, the light ones tend to look a bit washed out in a white car. A lot of people like contrast, a dark interior with a light body or a light interior with a dark body.

    I don't know why it would be expensive, but BMW pricing is not always logical.

    1999 BMW e36 328is with rotary valve engine head
    1999 Oldsmobile Eighty Eight

    Uhh, the vast majority of white cars I see have tan interiors, not black. White over black for certain models is in fact a "Unicorn" color scheme. Based on the production numbers Im looking at, for the E39 just because its what I have handy, there were roughly 2.5 tan interiors to every 1 black (in white cars).

    OP, white on tan is a desirable color for reselling in the future. However if you dont like the color, get a different color. They can send the order off to get built and they can build it to YOUR desires if you dont mind waiting for it.

    I am a sucker for white with black guts. But will the tan interior have a black dash and trim? I would ask for sure. The tan dash and trim really doesn't look the part. My father in law ordered his e39 with tan and it has the tan dash, and its a bit darker than the seats, but still not preferred IMO. actually I have a pic, check it out, 01 530i sport, 61k miles I hopefully will end up with it./

    All non-M E39s with tan interiors have a dark brown upper dashboard and upper door panel portions. It is rather hideous imho. E39 M5's with the tan (caramel) interior got black upper dashboard/door panels.
