Ordering e93 in AW...cant decide interior color--help

SlammedR8 · 07-17-2007, 04:54 PM

like the title says...im going to be ordering a 335 cab in alpine white, but i cant decide on the interior color. i like red, but i think i'll get bored/sick of it after a while...its just a bit much for me! so im basically between Saddle brown or Creme beige...what are your thoughts, can people post pics of both those interiors on the convertible?!?!

thanks guy

I would choose the saddle brown for three reasons...

the two tone looks really good...

it's a bit darker so it will stay cleaner than the beige, esp while having the top down.

it's a rarer combination, so your car will be set apart from everyone else.

white on black

well to be honest with u ...i think the creme beige is a rarer combination, because i have seen pics of white on saddle brown, but havent seen many or any pics of white on creme beige...

On my lot, currently, there aren't any saddle brown interiors, nor are any incoming. However, we have plenty creme beige in stock and on the way to choose from. ...yes, i'm in sales for BMW.

White on saddle: contrast is good, and for some reason brown interiors feel more special, perhaps because in most cars with leather it's usually black, grey or beige.

Get the red. White is boring enough without adding an additional neutral color to the interior. If not, have you considered Lemon. (It is not yellow but close to white)

+1...That's what I just got, and it gets so many oooohs and aaaaahs, especially with the top down. I've only had it a week or so, so obviously I'm not tired of it, but I don't think I will...

The coral red is a real soft, matte finish orangish/red...not gaudy at all. And the whole interior isn't red...just the seats, door inserts and console top.

you're right, the lemon is quite nice...and two tone to boot! ...howver, it's currently unavailable on the conv....

nusevad · 07-17-2007, 08:30 PM

neither of those options, i would choose black.

Driver72 · 07-17-2007, 08:33 PM

On the AW car get either:

Saddle Brown or Red.

Red will hurt your resales value big time though.
It looks good/racy, but not too many people will find it appealing when looking at a used BMW.

Saddle Brown looks great and the brown interior is common in the exotic cars like Porsche and Ferrari. It's also becoming more common in mid-level luxury cars too.
Nice classy touch that also looks sporty and fun.

Creme is kinda...well feminine.
Black makes you feel like you are in a coffin, it's too dark and depressing.

dew1551 · 07-17-2007, 09:20 PM

coral red most certainly
