SG with Coral leather???

I have been thinking about color combinations for my 1 when i order it. Has anyone thought of SG with Coral interior? I once saw a mini done in similar colors and thought it looked good.

I used the uk configurator to get a general idea but the pics really suck from it.

Can somone photoshop a 1 with SG and Coral?

Also open to hear others thought on the color combo

I once saw a 335 with that combo and it looked good. Its not as obvious a combo as say black and coral or montego and lemon but its still nice. I think that the SG and the coral are toned well to accent each other nicely.

Having settled on most of my options, there's not much else to obsess about besides paint and interior. I've thought alot about SG/Coral Red as each individually is my first choice in their respective catagory. Unfortunately a third consideration is how well the two go together and the coral red is actually a better match with TiAg or Black. I think the most striking combo is AW/Coral but I'm concerned it might look too "Las Vegas".

Sparkling Graphite. Close though. :smile:

I think that it's a great color combo, but I don't know if I could live with that red of an interior.

my 3 coupe is basically the same color combo, although Tanin Red does seem a bit darker. you'll love the red and you will never stop hearing compliments regarding it, trust me.

That's my choice too. Do you have to get the premium package in order to get the Coral Red? I hope not because I want to keep my 135i very simple. All I was is the leather, sport package and metallic paint. Nothing else.

I'm having a hard time understanding you. I'm no journalist, but at least I make an effort so that others can understand me. You might want to take the 3 step plan. (not meant as a put-down, but rather as a suggestion) :smile:

Yeah, I'd love that exact combo. Business on the outside, party on the inside.

I think that it's a great combo as well. Just the seats and door inserts are in red, so I don't find the color so overwhelming. I've been in cars with eveything in red interiors and frankly red plastic just doesn't do it for me. YMMV.

LOL... That's one of the funnier posts that I've seen. The pix is great, too.

Unfortunately, I feel this is somewhat of a lost cause. With the proliferation of information and the advent of instant messaging/texting the written language is becoming more and more abbreviated. Shades of Orwell's 1984 where "Big Brother" was removing unnecessary words from the language. Only in this case it's voluntary instead of mandated by the government.
