For owners of coral red...

Year's_End · 04-08-2007, 01:28 AM

Have any coral red owners grown weary of the brightness? A sales person showed me his e92 335i and let me sit in it. Me and my friend's thoughts were both 'holy shite this is niiice'. Then, as we were walking away, I began wondering if it'll be too much over time. I was originally thinking of something extremely conservative, like cream beige or gray, but I dunno now.

This is not one of those 'Which do you think is better topics' btw. I just want to know if it starts to sear the eyes after awhile...it is pretty bright.

I love mine, granted I just picked it up 48 hours ago, but I picked it out when I ordered it in January and boy am I glad I stuck with it.

Everyone that sees it loves it

ch330i · 04-08-2007, 01:53 AM

It different, unique. But hey, so are all BMW's

Revlis · 04-08-2007, 03:47 AM

10 days, still giddy, and the red is classic.

I get more positive comments about the red than I ever imagined.

Deveray · 04-08-2007, 05:53 AM

After 6 months I still like it very much - if anything it seems less unusual or bright as time passes

CoralRedPlz · 04-08-2007, 08:33 AM

+1 to both of the comments above, i absolutely love it.

it really sets off the space grey beautifully. i almost dont wanna tint my windows bc the colors look so great from outside the car looking in, but its too damned hot in FL not to.

bartman32 · 04-08-2007, 09:16 AM

I drove mine around Europe for a week and every time I looked at it I thought how cool is this! And it's not an option that a lot of people get so it sort of sets your car apart even more. When I ordered it my dealer said that not many people order it like that but whenever one comes in people see it and he gets more orders for it. I think it's just beautiful!

Nyulak · 04-08-2007, 10:02 AM

I feel the coral red has definitely improved with time. I was a little hesitant about the color at first, but it wasn't ugly, so I purchased the car off the lot. Now after nearly 7 months, it is a unique and cool color to have. It's definitely a plus in my book.

Clem · 04-08-2007, 10:06 AM

I absolutely love mine and and haven't regretted it for a minute. I was also considering the more "conservative" choices - black and grey - to go with silver.

Don't fear the Coral! It rocks!:rocks:

anieto · 04-08-2007, 10:13 AM

I love my Red with Space Gray combo. I as others have mentioned get a lot of positive comments and yes the red interior is unique, in this country anyway. When I did my ED last November I noticed more cars in Europe with red interior. Go for it you won't be sorry. Or to play it safe, lease it first then after your lease is up decide to return or buy. It will cost you a little more if you keep it vs. financing up front but I look at it as the cost of "insurance" to be make sure you really like it. Just my .02...

DrGP · 04-08-2007, 10:24 AM

I haven't had the oportunity to experience my own yet, but I have seen 2 space grays with it. My wife said she she didn't like it, but since I drive it myself, most of the time, I got it anyway. I love black interiors, but with the black, white, silver and gray colors, it just adds some pop to otherwise neutral color cars.

E90330iS · 04-08-2007, 01:53 PM

The red seats have always been the most appraised color seats for E46 M3s and some European E46 330is. I think we are really fortunate to have the red seats for the 335i now too! Only if the Coral Red is a little darker like the Imola Red seats found in the E46 M3s then it would be both attractive and classic.. Do you guys think the Coral Red leather will darken over time? But either way I would definitely go for either Coral Red or Saddle Brown if I were getting a 335i with premium package!

theroyalwe · 04-08-2007, 02:07 PM

nope... never gets old. I still could just stare at a CR interior for hours.

Pangearox · 04-08-2007, 02:22 PM

get it...

i ordered the lemon on my e90 here in canada and it is soooo amazing

now my e93 is coming in a few weeks with the red...its different, and you wont see so many of them around.

thats the best thing...too many people have SG with black or Space with black...BORING!!!!

i cant wait to get mine!!

vAnt826 · 04-08-2007, 02:55 PM

Red is something you don't find in a Honda or Toyota

Actually, you can get red interior in a S2000.

NU2BMW · 04-08-2007, 03:43 PM

I have coral red and like it. Actually, I don't find it that bright and the fact that the interior is "3 tone" (given the headliner is not black) provides plenty of contrast.

stooken · 04-08-2007, 03:52 PM

And it looks awesome!
