Black is basic, but if you live where it gets hot it can be a pain (literally). I'll let you know if I get tired of my Coral. I suspect I'm just going to take less notice of it rather than ever 'get tired' of it.

This is an easy one... NO! I love the red!
My AW/Coral with tinted windows is awesome! The only small draw back is everyone else in 1addicts has good taste too, and the combo is quite common here. But where I live, I have only bumped into other AW/Coral 1 time and that was a group meet. Oh BTW, the 135i back end is also a nice touch to this colour combo. I love it! EspressoBoy |

I don't think I'll ever get tired of it. the red adds another dimension to the car, the contrast when viewed from outside is great. When I'm driving I tend to glance at the passenger door and think...DAMN THAT'S COOL. I'm a big fan of Lemon also. I've always had black on black, but I really liking contrasting int/ext colors.

I absolutely love the Coral. It is a perfect balance of bold but not too loud. It definitely attracts a lot of attention when I have the top down.

I have coral red on my Jet Black and it is phenominal and I compliments every time someone new sees my car. It is a standout feature that everyone loves (except my mom :smile. Here is a shot of my red interior, I agree with the earlier poster who said it is more of a brick red, than bright red.

Coral interior is really nice, but it also depends on your exterior color. It works better with some colors than others. I'd highly recommended it on AW and Black.

I won't ever get tired of it.I went back and forth between it and black and am so glad I got it. As far as colors are concerned, in addition to AW and black, it looks incredible with SGM, but you are now out of luck getting that combo.

I like a few others have it with Sedona red, and they match just perfectly. The other important thing to note is that it is very much a two tone interior, the black console, dash, and most of the doors really tone it down a lot.
I'd do it again any day, and if you do ... live it ... love it !!

I have alpine white/coral red as well. Might I suggest that when you get in and out of your car to put your seat back if you have red seats. This applies if you have the sports package where the sides flare out...but my sides are losing color because of me going in and out....

have you seen coral red in person? It's not very bright, it's dark, brick colored

After seeing and test driving in a car that had coral red seats, that's what I ended up ordering( AW/coral) . To me it makes the car look more exotic. Reminds of Farrari or Maserati interiors that offer red. Ditto to the brick red as well. When I first told my wife I ordered the car with red leather she wasn't very happy but then she saw the actually hue and thought it looked great. In the end though...I always say go with your first choice. When you second guess you always look back and say "...I should have got the...".
