I am very interested to hear your experiences/opinions.

You better have an exceptionally high conviction in the decision if you are going to overrule the MRS!

i'm a bit shocked at the positive remarks on the CR interior.

i am currently faced with getting an awesome deal on one. i assume because of the coral red interior.

haven't seen it in person. is it really more bright that in these pics?

i really mean it's an AWESOME deal on a '14 fairly load 335xi

No, its not brighter.
And especially on a 335 where the dash isnt red its absolutely fantastic.
(not that the 4 looks bad, but I like the dash without the red)

You definitely need to see it in person.
Ive always hated red interiors until I saw it in person (which actually was a 435).

Red dash looks much much better than black dash, imho.

I hate to bust this thread....since I started it AND there has been ALOT of buzz with great perspectives from everyone. I recently changed my order to a 535i. YES I went through the evolution, considering a 435i Gran Coupe, but went back to my first love...the "5". As such, there is no CR interior option...at least not within my price range. So the MRS wins out regardless, BUT if I had stuck with the 335i or 435i, red would've been the choice!

You can't come back to a thread and lay claim to its brilliance because you started it.

It's ours now.

Correct you are. I was just owning up to my frequent change of heart. Let the discussion continue....you all have my permission.

I just want to comment that I test drove a 435 xDrive GC yesterday with Coral Red interior and Sapphire Black exterior and I must say, it really is stunning in person. I am still undecided because it's just so different than anything I've ever had. The fact that the dash is red also has me second guessing, but I don't think paying $950 for the leather dash to kill it is worth it, especially in a lease.

I will say that after reading through these comments and seeing some of the other member's pictures, I am once again leaning towards the red. I am doing Carbon Black exterior and know I do not want to the black interior. I was initially thinking Ivory or Oyster to really contrast, but there is something beautiful about that red.

I just picked up my AW with CR interior yesterday. Unsurprisingly, the wife hates the red. But that's okay, it's my car and I love it. It makes the interior so much more interesting.

Me too! I never realized how much that red interior really works well with a red exterior. My 428i is red on red and to me it is outstanding!!!

[stewie]

I've had my car for a few weeks now and the one thing that gets positive comments, without exception, is the red leather. Even friends who doubted my choice change their minds when they see it in person. I think it works great with the MG exterior.

Damn it! I was all ready to pull the trigger on a M235, one reason being that it comes standard with the black dash and red interior. I can't stand those grey M245 rims though! Now that you've informed me that I can get rid of the over powering red dash, and just have red seats on the 435, now I'm back on the fence with M235 and 435!!!!!

Back the the uber slow and frustrating BMW configuration!

Hi all,

A different perspective of the Coral Red my F30.
I love the contrast, even as your looking at the car from the outside with the windows up.

Cheers

I also love the Coral Red. Was a bit unsure at first, but it's definitely growing on me...

[KFIpro]

If you like it so much, you'll regret not getting it. You have to see it in person, your wife will appreciate seeing it in person. Take a test drive and see if it bothers you. No regrets here.

[optimaxed]

I have a coral red interior with white exterior, it suits the car a lot, and I get a lot of favorable comments from people.

I've done 24k miles in my car and the leather does get darker when dirty. Its incredible how much brighter the red looks after you clean it.

[In AWD We Trust]

Don't mean to whore my pictures around too much; but I think the coral red makes the car look even that much more expensive, even though its a zero cost option....

Haven't regretted it for the 5 days I had her lol.

It really makes the interior pop against alpine white.

[nop]

By the way, I got the Coral Red with the Anthracite wood trim. I know the standard is the aluminum hexagon, but I think my combo is a lot more subtle (funny saying that for a CR interior) and came out really well. I also get the brushed aluminum stripe along the dash, which I like much better than the piano black. I took a gamble ordering it because it was new for 2015 and I couldn't see a car with it, but it paid off. Oh, and it looks nothing like it does on the BMW configurator, it's much more gray than brown.

[finaloption]

i haven't seen the half red/half black dash on the 4 in person.. so i'm not sure i like it or not.. i think it's perfect on the 3 in the above pictures

i could probably get used to it though

In person it is not as extreme as it looks in the pictures. Most of the red panels are angled away from you at normal height so they don't stand out so much. I still prefer the black panels but it's not like you get an option on the 4 series.
