E90 Red Leather - How Rare??

So as above really, I have been looking for a while with no luck so have settled for Black but was interested to know how rare Red Leather is on the E90??

Seen plenty of E92's with Red & sets on eBay for E92 but nothing for E90

They tend to be white ones, in my experience.

Well, finding a red leather for E90 is not a problem however finding one which is fully electric and has memory seats is the real issue.

I retrofitted Fully electric with memory seats (and heated) into my e90.
Then I wanted red leather. There were plenty of sets being sold on but none of them were fully electric and heated.

Finding red leather for e91 is more difficult.

I was advised to get my seats dyed in red colour.

it is no problem to integrate red leather mechanical seats on standard electric/memory seats. if they are both from e90 or e87 or e84, not e92 e93 e81
