But on some Terra photos I've seen, the airbag cover on side of the seats is black. I really like the two-tone contrast in other areas of the car, but for some reason the black side airbag looked over the top and cheap. I was hoping that since their are some verified photos of Lemon interior out there with matcing side airbag covers, BMW realized how tacky the two-tone looked in this spot and followed suit with the Terra. Any confirmations out there?  |

On terra they´re black.
Terra beeing such a difficult colour to nail down (just look at how different it looks in every picture and how different it the looks IRL) BMW probably could not make a plastic airbag cover to match. I don´t think they left it black thinking it would look nicer but rather because it was such a difficult colour match.
Better to have them in black than in a non-matching brown
