I like the Coral, but it can kill your resale value.

no offense taken at all. Coral is definitely a particular taste. Plus the flash of the cameras really enhance that interior. I sat in a few BMW's with Coral and just loved them. I actually drove an S2K for alittle bit with Honda's red interior and i didn't like that too much plus it already looked "cracked" and "worn" with like 20K on it.
I am not worried at all about resale, as i am leasing the car.

Thats probably why I dont like it. I felt like I had to put sunglasses on looking at that pic. And your right, the full red interior is on the first generation s2000's. They looked AWFUL. Honda dosent mess with that kind of application anymore. They do have a nice black/red combo though.

It was.

My first S2000 (MY03) had full red interior with the Silverstone exterior.

I loved it.

Looked awful in pictures though, everyone liked it when they saw it in the flesh - and I sold it within 3 days of advertising the car!

My current MY06 S2000 is in New Indy Yellow.... do you think I like brash and loud colours? :biggrin:

My wife drives the 335d most of the time and I drive the S2000 which is now up for sale.

I love the 335d but not a huge fan of diesels or of the ride quality. The 135i drives much better over bumpy roads than the 335d.

Should try and find some pics....

Funnily enough, this is a topic close to my heart!

I ordered my 135i last November (AW with Coral and Auto Box). Ive had to wait until today for the cut off date to tweak my order (due to the auto), and ive been changing my mind on an hourly basis for the last 2 months on colours. (its really stressed me out!!!!)

I phoned BMW at 2pm to change to black interior, then I dropped my fiancee off at BMW and saw a white 130i with a black interior (looked boring), and a 335 with coral interior (looked great). So I changed it back again to coral!

Then I log on and see these pics posted today. Superb, glad I stuck with it. IMHO it is not garish, and will not affect the resale.

Delivery end of march, can't wait.

Thanks for posting the pictures from the show.

Sorry, I should have snapped some interior shots!

The white exterior with Coral Red interior looks great. I agree about it possibly hurting resale value, as the combo is not likely suited to all tastes.
