Trim Question for Estoril Blue/Coral Red Owners

ksh937 · 09-02-2014, 01:34 PM

How does the wood trim look with the Coral Red Dakota Leather? Either of the Aluminum options look better? I am curious b/c I think the wood might class with the Coral Red...

I've got the brushed aluminium in mine, I think it goes together pretty well. I honestly don't like wood trim at all in cars though so I'm a bit biased against it, the brushed and hex trim look great in any case.

Any chance you can send some pics?

I just PM'd you a few shots.

I have the hex trim, and I love it. Everyone who's seen it has made a positive comment on it too.

Love the hex with blue accent on an EB M235i.

Got the aluminum trim, hated it. Have the M Performance CF/Alcantara now and love it.

DanG and Gaviin, what interior do you have?

Depends on your own preferences:

What is that located behind the i-drive knob in the console before the compartment?

Hmm, thanks. I didn't realize the Coral Red was so red, lol. I might need to rethink my interior choice...

Find a car with it and see it in person. For whatever reason pictures make it look more red then it is.
I thought the same when i saw the pics but in person its not as bright

e30if · 09-03-2014, 01:26 PM

It's not as bright red in person as it is in pictures. I haven't had anyone in the car so far that didn't like the red, hell my mom even likes it and she only ever gets gray leather in her cars. I can take a couple pictures of mine if you like.
