Coral Red Leather

[briers]

Would you buy it?

Trying to gauge if it will hurt resale value.

Personally i think it looks great. My taste isn't everyone's, i don't like cream leather myself, but there are plenty of walnut dash/cream combo's around. Annoyingly as i keep finding when i think i found the perfect 335d combo in budget until i see the interior.

It's one of those marmite colours - I personally would steer well clear as I can't stand it.

Yes and I intend to as well.

However, I don't buy cars thinking about resale value as I buy what I want and like, not want I think someone else will years later

I wouldn't risk it. Likely to become worse if it becomes known as one of 'those' colours.

Gave me a headache when I was in a car with one for half an hour.

Love that colour.Most BMWs look too boring ,black and sparse.

I prefer their Indianapolis red leather personally, but not available on the 1 and 3 series.

Coral is just so bright, but nice against black or white.

I absolutely love Red Leather, it was one of my requirements when I got my M3:





Black leather was the biggest turn off for me when looking at cars.

Love it!

I might have to take this one on the chin and accept that i might be waiting a long time for the right combo with red leather, for a 330i or 335d.

The red in the pics looks gross, but the reality is better.

Is this an old advert?

Love it, looked for it deliberately in both my Z and the 135. Everyone that has seen it in the flesh has also been unanimously complimentary.

I have the Imola Red leather in my M5 and it gets a lot of positive comment.

I think it works well in BMWs because it is broken up a bit by the black door surrounds, centre console ect.

That Porsche looks absolutely ridiculous. It's as if they've just masked off the windows and hosed the entire interior down with red paint.

To be fair they must have covered the vomit-yellow wood handbrake and gearlever before hosing ...

Oh lovely - e39? Do you have pics of it?

Yeah the Porsche effort is pretty poor.

That idea works OK on an old mid '60's Corvette Stingray though
