Go for it, Gray/red combos are the ultimate elegant/sexy combos
Check out that combo on an F23 or even an Audi S5 .. Awesome, don't do black interior, so boring !!

I haven't gotten tired of it at all and in fact I am ordering my M235i in MG/CR. As it turns out the Apline White exterior is what I got tired of not the Coral Red interior.
I've got an M235i in production right now that is MG/CR! I had the same concerns - always tan or black interiors. I just said what the hell and did the red. Why not? You only live once. I think it's a stunning combination. Just wish the calipers were also red!!

A real tough call, but I find that BMW's latest wood trims don't look like real wood, which kinda sucks.
Saw the hexagon in an actual M235i today at Toronto Auto Show and it looks amazing! Go for that w HB highlight.

For those of you (like me) who came to this thread from an Internet search for Mineral Gray M235's, check out FunRevn's thread "Just came back from test driving the M235." Best pics of the MG car I've been able to find on the net.

I just took a PCD Delivery last week and I only wish I could figure out how to post pictures. Keeps saying, too large if files. Need to shrink the files, but I am not that proficient enough or know how to do this, so that's it.
