Closest Exterior Color to Coral Red Interior?

Bob Z. · 08-28-2012, 01:09 PM

Hello all. Does anyone have an opinion as to which BMW exterior color is closest to the Coral Red leather interior color? Vermillion Red looks darker: see attached, which I had a dealer give me. What about Crimson Red?

GeeRam · 08-28-2012, 02:48 PM

Definately Crimson Red.

Vermillion is several shades darker.

I was going to originally order mine in Vermillion with Coral Red, but decided the reds were too far out shade wise.

Crimson Red has been dropped for 2012/3 though?

Mine is Sedona Red with Coral interior and its pretty close

Definitely Crimson Red, but as GeeRAM said, I don't think it's available anymore.

If I got Vermillion Red, which I almost did, I'd go with black interior. Very classic/sporty combo, especially with the shadowline trim.

Why thank you, Hawaii!

Yeah I've been looking at some pictures and the Vermillion is a great color. If you wanted to go lighter with the interior I think the Savannah Beige would be pretty great also. I'm actually considering that combo (among others) myself!

Agree the SB would also go well. Probably the only color other than black that would go well.

You're welcome.

Nice ride you've put together there.

Ya if crimson had still been avaliable It mygot would have won over AW. I would have done the crimson and coral. I saw it once and jus looked so bad ass. But Vermillion was too dark for me so went worth AW/coral

I agree - if Crimson Red were still offered I would have ordered it in that color...the Vermillion Red was not for me. I wound up ordering a Silver/Coral Red 135i convertible and thought about getting the grill surrounds & "135i" badge done to match the interior, but I think I will do Silver grill surrounds and a Black "135i" badge.

Can you post a pic or two of what the Vermillion Red with Coral looks like? It's a color combo I would not have thought of.

Same here bro I'm doing alpine white grill surrounds and black badging. I think it looks sportier when the grill surrounds match. The black ones look sporty as well but played out IMO

I will post some pics for you guys...I love it and I would not have ordered it any other way.....but then again, I love red......Roll Tide!!!!!
