Red Stitching?

RobNH · 12-02-2014, 07:45 PM

I've seen a couple 228s with red stitching inside. Anyone know why this isn't an option on the M235i?

I believe red stitching/lining is more in line with Sport Line. M Sport/M vehicles (if anything) carry only the Estoril Blue accents

Correct, sport lines get the Red contrast stitching, M sports get black stitching.

This annoyed me on the 3 series as well. The sport line models would get the black + red stitching, the M sport only had black with black stitching, made the interior look much more boring which is why I ended up opting for Coral Red.
