Help

Now Im secound guessing myself on my interior. Im thinking the coral red may be too much and I might get sick of it after a few months should I change it to black? I have a week to make up my mind. Do you think the red will kill some of the resale value? or should I just keep it the way I have it? And whats up with the way you check your production # to track your car? I cant seem to find it online anywhere....

Stay with the coral. SGM on black might be to much for Florida...JMO

Dude, relax. Coral is the classic 1 interior. If you're not sure, see if any dealers have a 1 or 3 in stock with that combination. My dealer had a 335i coupe with that plus gray poplar and it looked great. Second choice for me was Savanah Beige, but I know I'll wear the drivers seat down over time otherwise it's a beautiful match with SMG.

Honestly...i went with Sedona and black leather, but if i hadn't got that my next pick would have been your color with the coral. The dealer had this combination on the showroom floor and it was stunning, no worries man...it'll be a beautiful combination.

I have coral and love it. Just take good care of the leather and you should be fine. The thing I like, is that the whole inside isn't red, really just the seats and the side door has red leather, and the rest being black in the car gives a two tone effect.

I say keep the Coral. It's not overwhelming in person, and it contrasts nicely with the black interior. Real men rock Coral.* Do you want to be beamerboi or beamerman? :wink:

My CA and his boss were a little perplexed by my insistence on Coral Red. They didn't think it was that hot and tried to get me to order something else. Well, after mine came in, they ordered another AW/Coral vert, and it was gone in a week. I showed them.

I have coral, and every time I show the car, it's the first thing they notice! I always get a wow!

:thumbup:yep my dealer was trying to get me to get the black or the gray. He said the resale value would be a few $ less with the red. My best friend said I should go with tan. My gut was to go with the red and so I did!!! Now after reading what you guys say I feel much better


Is thier anyother way to track your order I seem to cant find the tracking info other than the 1-800#
