their coral

I went with black leather in the end.

It will be easier to maintain and better for resale.

Coral is hot though.

[professor]

i think i might be in a minority on this forum because i think coral is a little bit too gaudy for a 1er.

[red-sauerkraut]

I'd go look at them both in person a few more times. It will be that easy.

[ptack]

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.

coral looks LOUD on the bmw builder

but in person it's more of a brick red

[EspressoBoy]

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!

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.

oh i love the red, especially with titanium silver, it just looks amazing as a combo, and i completely agree with pit1, it really does add another dimension to the interior of the car

[rocketpop]

I still love my AW/Coral

[warmtoes]

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.

[Purgatory]

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.

if your car is AW or either Jetblack BSM, then go for coral

if not, then go for lemon or black boston

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.

[drand]

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.

[MastaMind]

I love my AW/Coral combo, and I've received nothing but compliments. I don't know how you could grow tired of it--either you like it or you don't.

It also looks great with the Cashmere Silver on my convertible and has been easy to maintain - no regrets after 11,000 miles.

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....

[135i_TT]

I like the coral red but its waaay to bright.. plus when the car gets old the red is going to fade real bad.. thats why i decided to go for Terracotta in my AW 135i

[imported_mega]

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

[maddad]

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...".
