Almost convinced myself to buy a 330d 2007 convertible. Cannot afford new - but a used one has come up at the right price. Trouble is it has the Coral Red leather seats and interior. I quite like this - but I am not sure how it will be regarded in 5 years time when I come to sell. Is this colour a passing fashion or will it stand the test of time. I wonder if it is cheap because of the colour!

Any comments from the forum welcome. Is this a horrible colour in your opinion?

Thanks,

Can't say about 5 yrs. from now but I ordered it for my wife's '07 328 Conv. over a year ago. She's loved it ever since. Due to other issues we will most likely be ordering another '09 in the very near future and she wants me to order it the same way.

Space Gray w/ Coral Red interior, we both think it's sharp.

Here is my personal opinion. I LOVE the coral red interiors on BMWs. I think it just looks so sharp on the road and it's not something you see very often. I'd say go for it. It's definitely a head-turner especially in a convertible.

I'm a fan of the Coral Red interior even though I don't have it. I was hoping that would have been my interior color when I shopped for a '08 328xic but the dealership didn't have a Coral Red interior/Black exterior combo and I didn't want to wait. Maybe next time :(

Can't stand the ridiculous red interior... but I'm kinda fuddy-duddy that way. But if you get them, make sure you take very good care of them, they show their age after a few years if they're not conditioned religiously every month or two.

What is the exterior colour or color?

Black exterior with Red Coral is a choice I would consider.

Yeah as long as the exterior is the right color...for me either Black or White exterior with that red would look awesome....
