Ordering Coral Red, but what Trim??
I'm ordering a 4 series with coral red interior, but what trim looks better, the Aluminum Hexagon Trim or the Dark Burl Walnut Wood Trim? Just want peoples opinions. Thanks!

My opinion ... Do the aluminum trim. I feel woodgrains look off with the red. I ordered my E92 and F30 both with the coral / alum hex I think it's a perfect combo!.
My E92 showed up with the dark burl and it was not a good look. It took the dealer about two weeks to get all the correct parts for the trim package I had ordered. I was so happy to get the aluminum trim installed and get rid if the burl.

You will not be disappointed... I promise! What are you ordering??? I went back and forth between a new 4 or the F30... I opted for an F30 msport... I was a bit concerned with getting the FIRST MY of the 4series.

See it in person and decide.
Too much reflection in SoCal sun with aluminum. Esp hex. That's just me I personally feel everything competes for attention with al trim, looks great on black interior. I got burl wood on mine, might do a carbon fiber wrap, not possible with al hex due to non smooth surface finish. Again drive in both or spend enough time to decide More discussion if u like. http://www.f30post.com/forums/showthread.php?t=874309

I've got the alu trim w coral red. Any type of wood trim will have to wait until 7-series after retirement... So either the alu or retrofit M-sport carbon.

I have Coral Red and Dark Burl Walnut.. I will add high quality photos soon so you can have an idea. Looks nice. I am a fan of both Aluminum or Wood. It is your personal preference.

You've made a great choice... Why the 428i over the 435i? And what color are you going to order? Side note... Before you kick down the extra $2100 for the navi you should reconsider. I took my e92 in for an oil change this weekend and I got a '12 328i as a loaner. This car has the new interface and Bluetooth which is quite a bit better then it's predecessor. I used the map app on my iphone while I was driving around, and I was pleasantly surprised to find that I was able to get the voice (from the navigation app) to come through the speakers. My '11 e92 doesn't do that... I say save the money and put it towards wheel upgrade OR the 435i I should get my car about the same time as you. Late September or early October! BMW has had my order for a little over two weeks now, so production has to start soon! So you are placing your order this week???

"Wood Trim will have to wait until 7-serires after retirement... " Well said! I think the red is too sporty to go with wood trim...

Right on another great choice! My e92 is alpine white with the coral red and hex alum and I LOVE it... The white definitely shows off the m parts more then the black would.

haha nice! yeah i had black before with some mods, it was nice, but I prefer a modded white car than a modded black car. Also I MIGHT opt for the 435i this coming friday when i order, its just that I'm purchasing, not leasing, and i have to put alot of money down.

crap. now im debating whether i should go for the black interior + red stitching/highlights and aluminum trim or go with the coral red...
feel like coral makes it look sportier but black looks classy, sexier. not sure if i would grow tired of the red after 2 weeks or so. anyone with input?? |
