S3 saloon configurator

[Adrian E]

There's very little choice over interior trim colours in the saloon - if you pick the super sports seats it's basically black interior only!

I don't mind a bit of colour to the interior - my S8 has purple leather - but some options work better than others. Fox red in a white BMW looks naff, but loads of people spec it. I quite like that blue with red interior - it wouldn't put me off buying the car 2nd hand, that's for sure!

Who on earth would order red or part red leather on a blue car - revolting combination

It's the kind of thing I'd do - I had a black Y reg Punto with red interior... I loved it. I was the only one...

the kind of thing but not THE thing I was talking about

red interior fine on black/grey/white car not on a yellow/blue/red car

Must stress that this is a press car and I've no idea why they pick certain things with them, I've even had cars with extras that don't match or make much sense together before.

I'll check the sheet the next time I'm in it as I think it's some sort of design pack but I'd never pick a leather colour other than black. I know it looks OK in other colours in some cars but I just like a dark cabin.

I ordered the saloon. I think I was pushing the upper end of that band when it came to pricing, went with things such as B&O, Nav, metallic paint. It soon adds up. Build date is looking like it will be second week in May, with delivery towards the end.

Wasn't Audi's S3 Sportback press car something like £49k? I'm sure it's a very competent car but that's crazy money.

£39k maybe, I don't think there are enough options for £49k unless you start speccing custom paint and the like.
