Would red on red be to much.

11-16-2006, 01:36 PM

Not asking for any flames or such, just wondering what peoples opinions were on the thought of the crimson red with the red leather interior. Would the thing look like a apple on wheels or would it set itself apart because of the difference.

nmulax · 11-16-2006, 01:39 PM

haven't seen the red interior in person, but I'd imagine they're not the same reds.

IMO, don't think it'd look good.

TahoeOG · 11-16-2006, 01:39 PM

lol, i personally wouldn't do it. Not my style. I must admit red interior looks hot, and i don't find that many people that think red exterior is hot but i think it is way hot. But something about putting them together... ummm i don't know bro. Again everything is own personal opinion and do what makes you feel good in your bimmer.

PS- if you happen to wear a red polo shirt or something and people see you comming out of a red car with red interior with red polo... Ummm they might think there's something up with you. LOL, your choice bro

I don't think you will be happy with the bloody red/red and selling it would be a problem too if you plan to buy the car. I personally would like white ext and red int.

white/red would def be much better.

Zirenz2006 · 11-16-2006, 02:08 PM

That would be too much.

dmboone25 · 11-16-2006, 02:11 PM

I agree with the general opinion--it would be too much. Pick which one you like the best--either red exterior or interior--then pick a color that goes well with it for the other. Probably be happier in the long run.....

Ray · 11-16-2006, 02:16 PM

red/red is not bad. I see a lot of the E46 M3's with that combo, but they use Imola. I'm not too firmiliar with Crimson.

shimshimhada · 11-16-2006, 02:18 PM

I think it would look nice...if you could get the headliner in anthracite. Then you could get a red/black theme going on with body-matched outside grills with blacked out inside. Then you could get those Volks Time Attack wheels. zomg, it would look nice.

stressdoc · 11-16-2006, 02:19 PM

They do not match, different tones of red. You need to go black/grey/white with red.

11-16-2006, 02:25 PM

actually i have the car on order already with crimson red exterior and black leather, which is a complete flip flop of my last car which was black/red. I just thought maybe the red on red my be a cool thing but if the tones dont match then it would not look good. I like the idea of the red/black theme which is what im probably going to do anyway.

Do it. I PSed this for someone a while back:

HarjotM · 11-16-2006, 02:44 PM

It will be too much! Thats what I was "thinking" about at first but then I went with Saphire Black ext with Coral Red int, I saw a M coupe with red int and also my porsche had red int, I think it looks so sexy, but IMHO red on red is a no no!

hands down either the white or black with red is about as good as it gets.

Absolutely ! It would be a real mismatch in tones.

They don't allow you to do that combo on bmwusa.
