Coral Red Parts?

Hey has anyone tried putting coral red arm rest or door panels with an otherwise black and silver interior?

I am just trying to get some red in the interior since I cant re stitch the seats with red.

Owners have been doing this since the E28/30 days. I'm sure an image Search will uncover some examples for you. It's your car - do what you want!

I'd source the gloss black trim and have the lower portion done in red like the photo below. Get the sport ebrake lever with red. Then do start button, Autotecknic red paddles and steering wheel trim. Get the all weather mats with red piping if you still want more. Easy upgrades.

Do they make that for the f22? Gloss black and red would look phenomenal.

No - not directly. They make gloss black with silver trim and it's not expensive. $200 or so for an entire kit, I have it in my M235 even though it was only ever offered for 228. You'd have to get the silver strip painted red which should not be expensive or complicated.

They do (did?) make s/t almost just like this called sport-line, with the red accent - if you are going to order s/t new you may as well do this. For some reason it was not available on most models, but it goes great w/ the red stitching. This is my interior w/factory red stitching on Sensatech, but somebody just reposted the DIY version if you have the patience https://www.2addicts.com/forums/show....php?t=1371568

Oh that's cool. They make all kinds of stuff that's not available in certain regions, on certain cars, etc.

I think it was only available on the non-M spec 228's, used to be part of a 'sport line package' that also had blacked-out trim (I think for just '14-'15). I can get why they want to bundle cheap accessories into a 'package' rather than sell them a la carte, but I just don't get the logic of limiting something as basic as an interior trim - was there a worldwide shortage of red plastic? Or did the guy who decided reflective aluminum surfaces were a good idea just kill all the sensible people in the styling department?

I don't have a part number, but I hear Brian at Sun Motors is the place to call for this type of factory parts info. It was listed on my build sheet (2016 228iX) as:
7AC Sport Package
4LV Black high-gloss trim with Coral Red matte...
