Can't order M carbon bucket seats with Fiona Red interior

IcebergM4 · 04-06-2021, 11:54 AM

My CA Jimmy Miller at Steve Thomas BMW was contacted by BMW Individual, and they absolutely REFUSE to pair Fiona Red with the CF seats no matter what (their final word). After sobbing in a corner uncontrollably for the past 24 hours, I regained my composure and realized I have a choice to make, but I need your help.

Do I get the Fiona Red with the standard seats, or Silverstone CF seats? My CA is ready to place my order and I need to decide ASAP.

Personally would go with SS CF seats in that case. They look so special even in standard color.

GOLFFRR · 04-06-2021, 12:43 PM

Booooo BMW
excited to see what you decided bud, thanks again for your business

CF seats

Rick955 · 04-06-2021, 01:12 PM

If you really love the CF seats then just get them... you didn't mention the car color (or did I totally miss it? lol), whatever... the seat color your choose is the one you like the most.

Nice. So SS will look great! I had Silverstone seats on my last one. No issues with it at all. I do agree though, the Fiona would have looked hot!

CklSpeciale · 04-06-2021, 01:49 PM

Fiona Red will look absolutely amazing on Black. However, I would still choose CB seats over it. They are too good to give up if you don't mind the practicality. What a pity you can't have them in fiona red

I'd go buckets

chicagofan00 · 04-06-2021, 04:27 PM

Fiona with BSM would be a fantastic combo. The carbon buckets do put the interior on to a whole other level with regards to looks but I think so would the regular seats in Fiona. I guess the next question is, are you intending to do full leather or only extended leather with either color?

silverstone cf seats would be my choice..... do not settle for the regular seats...way better look!!

mattssi · 04-06-2021, 06:30 PM

I would (and did) go with the red. I had a 135i vert with the jet black/coral red combo and I loved it.

I am bummed that they don't offer the CF seats, but it seems the consensus is that the stockers are pretty good and the sigo won't hate me

Or...

Wait a bit and they'll probably decide to offer them in red. Would be my luck.

Of course it would, red has always been a good contrasting interior over a fair amount of exterior colors.

Fiona over BSM standard seats:

Salespunk · 04-07-2021, 09:59 AM

Personally after owning BSM, I think there is too much blue in the color to pair with Fiona.

My choice would be Silverstone since it also has a blue hue to it and would pair really well.

Beautiful combo.

Sidenote: That car is dirty as shit. Inside and outside. Can't believe they threw those pictures up.

+1. Those pics are nasty.

Silverstone buckets full leather.

TargaM2 · 04-08-2021, 03:18 AM

Gotta go with the carbon buckets, full leather. Any colour.

ROBERT1183 · 04-08-2021, 08:58 AM

same boat brother i tried to get the fiona red carbon buckets as well. i was disapointed. Sooo much nicer than the orange. i ended up going with black carbon buckets on dravit grey. possibly maybe down the road i can add a red insert to the middle of the seat.

M3AWD · 04-08-2021, 03:36 PM

Pick the seat you prefer first, and then decide on the color you like based on what's available.

Just like you pick the car first, and then decide on the exterior color based on what's available.
