IMHO the red is too loud. Why can't BMW offer wicked interiors like Audi?

doba_s · 09-12-2007, 09:24 AM

^ they do, but only on mini coopers

Blk07335i · 09-12-2007, 11:44 AM

Red all the way. Either Alpine white with red or black with red. Awesome combination!

I have jet black with coral red, and I get other 335 owners telling me they wish they got my color combo. Black wih red I think is the best

Oh,

Red = Dead Sexy!

I'm waiting for my black saphire/coral red/ aluminum trim 335i. I had a Z4 3.0 - same combo but jet black. Received many many compliments. The red interior makes the exterior really pop!. Next to silver/red or grey/red it is the sportiest combo. The 335i coupe is a sports car and should be treated as such.

:

The big argument against black on red is it becoming an irritating color over time or it will impact resale value. I would suggest you take a look at this classic Mercedes and I think you'll agree it can be a very beautiful color combo and retain its classic look. I would seriously consider the red interior. You don't get a BMW 3 series for sensible reasons, you get one for emotional reasons and the red interior makes it that much better.

vinnys coupe · 09-12-2007, 11:36 PM

black with the red..

ever consider the AW on red?

NaTuReB0Y · 09-12-2007, 11:41 PM

black/black looks nice.......but i won't drive my car in the summer.....

unless it is extremely necessary............too damn HOT!

i drove about 400 miles from June - Sept.

flush01 · 09-12-2007, 11:46 PM

well i wanted red at first, it's nice for first month then you'll get tired of it...i got black/black with poplar grey trim and couldn't be anymore happier, if I could do it all over again it would be black/black again

astra · 09-13-2007, 12:54 AM

i vote for black, because imo red looks good to start with, but ages pretty quick and starts to look tacky... you can't go too wrong with black

Every time I had one of these questions in my head, white or black, beige or black, wood or aluminum... I just asked myself. Can you see yourself regretting this choice at any point down the road? If you can truthfully answer no, then by all means DO IT!

I hope that helps you make up your mind. It helped me decide and a year later, I don't regret a single option I got. (I just regret not getting more!)

e92man · 09-13-2007, 09:57 PM

to the op,
i put reps on my car because i dont care about the weights of the wheels. and i happen to like the polished black better than hamanns flat black. but no worries man.....

wuufer001 · 09-14-2007, 02:26 AM

mine's BS with Dakota black and i love it. have always loved black on black but at the end of the day it's still you that really matters

longodj · 09-14-2007, 02:29 AM

Black/Black will get WAY too hot. It's hard enough dealing with a black sapphire car! I have black/terra and it's fantastic, it's a classy sport type feel, I personally find the coral red too in your face. Good luck with the decision!

e92man · 09-14-2007, 06:44 AM

i am not plannin to sell my 335 for a looooooooooooooooong time so i really like my coral red. but if u r planing on sellin it in like 3 years than i would go with black
