I'll probably end up with black but it's a Nappa and on the M760Li the Merino Individual leather is a free upgrade yet not sure there's a colour I could do. Shame.

Re: Tartufo colour, I agree, it looks stunning in the pictures, I would have loved to have that gorgeous warm brown colour for the mid level height and seats but as you say, in the UK, the dealers tend to spec the polarising black or white colour combos only... I personally find any of the dark interior colours too dark and depressing on the Winter days and too hot in the Summer but to each their own. White will be a nightmare to keep clean but it does make the interior so much brighter which is what I went for, albeit with no kids to worry about!
One note, if you do go for the 760Li, be aware that most of the Merino choices (except red and beige it seems) apply over full cabin area (floor as well as seats and middle side levels). Having just had a lighter coloured (tan) interior in the floor area as well as the seats, I wouldn't go with that again...so if you want black in the footwells and floor area, be sure to check out the colour combos in detail on the 760.
Maybe with individual, you can get Tartufo mid level and black at floor and footwell level.

That's a very valid point on the flooring. I'd not quite considered that either but going back to some of the pics I took it does have white / cream floors as well. I can imagine those are a nightmare to keep clean especially with all the rain we get so dirty wet show marks.
My kids are getting older now. The youngest is 11 and the eldest 15 so no trouble there really. They know Santa puts kids on the naughty list if they mess up Dad's car
I tend to wear jeans quite a bit so worried about the dye transfer of keeping light seats clean. I do agree though the cabin looks much nicer in white but I've had lots of black interiors and used to that as well.
I'll check out the Configurator a bit more to see what each of the options show.
Oh and not to derail the thread here's some car porn of the M760Li in San Marino Blue
