If you get the right interior it looks quite expensive. Try a two-tone version (like Coral Red) with dark wood (like Ash Grain) and aluminum accents (in the 4 Series it wraps around from the dash to the front doors through the rear doors). Getting NAV or the Technology Package gives you a gorgeous widescreen too. I find that most who complain about the interior picked the wrong color combination or skipped the widescreen in the same way that those who complain about the handling forgot the Dynamic Handling Package. The luxury is all there if you pay for it. |

By the way, nice ride. I wish I was bold enough to be able to pull the trigger on Coral, it looks great! |

Two tone is much nicer as that's what I have but man I just can't stand the red.
Not bashing anyone who has it, just my personal preference. I wish Saddle Brown leather interior seats were available with M-Sports. Blue exterior with saddle brown interior is my personal favorite combination. |

I would gouge my eyes out before I would get a red interior (or exterior for that matter). How gaudy can you get? Leather is a natural product. It comes in black, brown and rarely white. Every other color looks horrible and fake.

In person, its more subdued. It's still bold, it's just not crazy. |

In the 4 Series Gran Coupe M-Sport the headliner is black, the dash is 50% black, the doors are 60% black, the carpets are black, the seatbacks are black, plenty of black to offset the red. It's funny how most put Estoril Blue exterior on a pedestal and its far, far more unnatural and "look at me" loud than Coral Red is as an interior. |

No doubt, and my 2010 E90 M-Sport had an all-black interior, but the best thing about leasing is keeping it fresh. I'd never done a red interior and always liked it back in the 00's in my friends Honda 2000 Roadster and the Gran Coupe and the Mineral Grey just compliment it so nicely. |

I strongly considered Estoril Blue, but couldn't pull the trigger for the same reason. Black on black for me. I like to stay under the radar.

Living near and driving around Manhattan there are only a few colors that can hide the road grime and so that eliminates many for me. The one carryover from the Chris Bangle era is the brilliant flame surfacing and there are only a handful of colors that really allow that styling cue to shine. |

I think BMW should add something like the 2 Tone interior that they added to the X6! Man it's amazing

I needed the Saddle Brown interior in the worst way back in 2012 but it wasn't worth the sacrifices to handling and styling in the end, very happy to be back in an M-Sport and I'm going to stay there. |

Add the track pack from the 2 series and give us the ability to stiffen suspension without having to have the car in sport mode, just like in the M. I want to customize my setting.
