Go for it. I have an EBII 335D F30 with coral red and I love it. I bought it have seen pictures on here and I have been amazed at how many people have commented on how beautiful the car is. You wont regret it. Black leather is safe but the red makes the interior look so class.

The bravest decision is red dakota. Not everyone's favourite but at least it is more individual than my boring black dakota. After the boldness of the red leather, the paint choice seems less conspicuous, so why not go with your outright favourite colour? If I had the balls to go for red leather, I wouldn't worry about trying to 'match' it with an exterior. What matches for some doesn't for others anyway.
I'm a big fan of EB, so if red dakota is your choice, I'd go Superman!

 I suppose I asked for trouble by chasing an extra £5 discount more my local dealers.  See you in three weeks!

At least with the 430d xdrive you can choose a BMW individual interior, I would probably go far black and beige even if I had to pay the extra £1200, I'm stuck with 3 choices in the 435 and I don't think much of any of them

They may add individual to the rest of the range in March, I think that's why the 430d xdrives has it, because that model is not available to build until March.
And yes, I looked at black and its just to boring, personally I've never liked red leather so thats only leaves me beige, now I'm thinking about the paint again lol, EB or MG? I loved EB but the 335 I bought was been such a nightmare that I've part exchanged it for a 435, lucky I did as when I went to pick it up from the dealer that had it three weeks fixing it I noticed a large don't in the front wing!!! Now when I see EB all I can think about is the aggro I've had with the 335 |

I've got Mineral Grey and black.
Mineral grey because I like how it can be shined up... Pure Polishing Pleasure!...  Interior wise, I really wanted Coral Red, spent ages agonising over if and eventually decided to opt for Black for dull practicality issues... I usually wear jeans and we plan on sprogs in the lifetime of this car...  I actually don't like EB, just not to my personal taste. I prefer a less noticeable car, full de-badge etc. However, every car I've seen with Mineral Grey and Coral Red looks amazing!

Superman isn't for me I'm afraid. The primary colour clash is too much. I don't even care for the red lights at the back of the car when on eb2. White/mineral grey with coral though... WOW! Didn't think the dash was also in red on uk cars?

I love the red interiors but many don't like the red no matter what colour the exterior of the car. However for me the red interior has to match the exterior colour and it just doesn't with the EB paint. Looks totally contrasting.
Dealers demos don't get ordered too often I imagine in Superman colours, they order in what appeals to the mass market. If you love the Superman look then go for it as its your personal choice but realise you may take a resale hit. So for me I'm in the "no" camp. |

But, also ditch the xDrive as it looks awful with the 4 Series. If you must have xDrive, then you might as well go for a 335d. The xDrive with the saloon is less of an aesthetic challenge.
