Is cashmere silver and coral red a good combo?

I love the 3 series coupe with space grey and red but I am not sure about cashmere silver. I have seen cashmere in person and like it, but it may have a little brown in it and I am not sure about how it would look with red. I really want red interior. Has anyone seen this combo?

I think it would look good with cashmere... I think beige would look the best with cashmere though.

I dunno, man, I've seen the cashmere in person and it is a very champagne looking color. Red seats would look out of place. I think black would be a nice contrast with the cashmere.

red seats look best with a dark color. I had a black car with red leather and it looked great.

I think red would clash too much with the cashmere color. Black with poplar would give it an even, uncomplicated look. Just my thought...

Me too. In fact I was sold on this combo (and still love it) but switched to Monaco Blue at the last minute instead.

Here's a link to a picture of a cashmere/black convertible, so that you can more easily see how the colors look together:

Terra Looks Good w/ Cashmere

Saw a Cashmere Silver with Terra leather at a dealer and it looked real nice! The cashmere is more Champagne than silver.

Cashmere = black interior
Coral = AW exterior

Just my opinion.

I think it would look fine.

But Coral looks best with White, Black, Grey. IMO.

It would work, but you may get tired of it. Imagine wearing the same beige suit with the same red tie for 3 or 4 years.

"Cashmere more champagne in color". Yeah, that is why I thought it might not go with red. I saw it cashmere with beige and it looked good. I still like red interior, mostly because it is not black, beige or grey. I may think about white or graphite exterior. Will probably order in the next week.

I agree. I am not sure it would work well together.

Smile If BMW thinks like it...

I like CSM and Red. Go for it! If BMW allows the combination, it must look good together. They don't allow free choice of whatever color combos are possible so if they allow CSM and Red, they must work well together. It's your car! Be unique!

I have to agree. But take a look at my set up... AW/Black is the safest combo out there
