2011 Question

[33914]

So, my first BMW (is supposed to arrive at the dealer next week) a 2011 135i convertible - metallic black, coral red, moonlight top, glacier trim, M Sport, DCT, Active Steering, Premium, Convenience, HK Sound, Satellite (I think that's everything) and now I'm curious because when I looked at the BMW website today it did not show coral red as an interior color for 11. Anyone have an explanation? Thanks.

Still there on the Canadian site... worst case, come up here and buy Canadian!

I would think that if your order was accepted by BMW (and it sounds like if it was if its so close to delivery) that the car was built with a Coral Red interior. It's possible that Coral Red is now a Priority 1 option, which basically means that it's available as a special order item (no additional charge) on customer spec'ed vehicles, but not something to dealer can order for showroom stock.

Maybe it's just a programming oversight as when you select "seats" in either sport package on the options page, the sport seats are shown in Coral Red. Of course, the site proudly announces "now showing new 2009 prices" or something to that effect.

Hope you got the red - I love it in my '08 'vert.

Red is now a P1 color, which means it isn't going to show in the configurator or in the promo materials.

Thanks for the input, just found out my car arrived at the dealer late today. Looking forward to picking it up this coming week and for another new experience, I'll (try) to post some photos and will let you know my initial impressions of my new toy.

Yeah I had that question as well. I asked my dealer rep and he told me it was still available. Not that it does you any good at the moment, but I was able to get it on my order as well at no additional charge.
