Crimson Red w/ Lemon Interior.....Thoughts?

Zonian22 · 04-28-2008, 04:14 PM

As the title of the post indicates.....I'm interested in finding out opinions on this color combo. Has anyone seen any pics of the combo on any car? Thank you!

That doesn't sound too appealing

Alright, alright.....enough with the gastric juices, lol! Thanks for the advice.....Other than the Amber Corners on Crimson Red, I would sure hate to give Mcdonalds free advertisements :biggrin:

im jk. but i really do think the crimson would make the yellow of the lemon stand out a lot. i think savannah beige and crimson would be nice. i love the crimson.

I think it would look good. My favorite colors are terra and lemon. I would have loved to get lemon but wasn't sold on how it would look with alpine white.

I think it would induce headaches in small children.

My local dealer has so much lemon on their lots it's amazing. Nearly all of their 335's have it. I saw a Crimson Red with Lemon this weekend. It looks NICE!!! Not kidding. No different really than beige or taupe. Red is basic.

They even had white with lemon and silver with aluminum (yep) (again, all 335's and 335xi's).

Give the people what they want I guess. And here I thought it was a Priority 1 option. Hmm.

I'd go with Terra, Black, or Grey, JMHO.

Lemon is a pretty neutral color though.

Can you take a picture? I'd really wanna know what it looks like. In my mind it doesn't seem like a bad combo, but all these McDonald's analogies are making me second guess, lol.

Sounds Italian.

Do you want fries with that, Sir?

If I were to get a crimson exterior, I'd go with Black interior. Nothing else really seems to "fit" the red right.

Savannah could work. Used for years in Porsche and Ferrari and others.
But, I agree with you that Black interior works well with Crimson.

hey i am getting black sapphire w/ coral red interior and i think that is one of the best color combos

3toM · 04-29-2008, 03:22 PM

If going crimson on the outside, I would think that black or beige are the best interior bets.

I believe he said Crimson Red exterior and Lemon interior... no reference to your red interior. Your color combo is terrific.

thats not crimson and lemon. black and red?? black and red is a whole other ballgame. whole other sport.

raisemyrent · 04-29-2008, 04:01 PM

might want to double check on the configurator on this one, some colour combinations are just not allowed.

I'll try to get down to the dealer this week and take a pic for you. The 335i Crimson Red/lemon is on the front row so it must be popular. :wink:
