    Does Red Exterior/Terra Interior Look Good to You

    All,

    I'm looking (online) at red 3 series (probably '06 330i) and stumbled across the red/terra combo seen here : http://www.paulsevagmotors.com/used_...8c064fa79da22b

    I think this combo looks sweet, but my wife had an almost violent reaction against it saying the color of the seats clashed with the exterior, etc. - her reaction was so strong I'm second guessing myself! It doesn't help that these pics were taken indoors and lighting comes into play here, etc. Anyone else have any thoughts or shots taken in daylight they'd like to post?

    Thanks!

    Um... I'm not a fan of red cars unless you're getting a Ferrari. However I love the brown seat color wish I would of gotten it on mine. I think it sets it apart from most cars where your choices are black, grey beige.

    +1 on the ferrari thing. I have a space gray 328i with the saddle brown dakota and LOVE it. It is not a combo I see very often and I not a fan of black leather and since my wife's car has tan I wanted something different. Salesman tried to tell me it is less desirable on resale. I politely reminded him that I am buying the car for ME, and not for whatever numbskull gets it later! So if you like it, that's all that matters! That said, a family friend bought an E92 with the space gray and red interior. IMO, it is hideous--but then again, it ain't my car!

    The red interior looks good in white cars

    I have the Terra int with SG ext. I love the int colour. I'm not quite sure it goes with red ext however. I'm actually surprized they would offrer that combo. But if you are buying pre owned you cannot not be to picky. You will spending most of your time looking at the inside.

    Red is a great color, loved it on my e36, buttot does attract a lot of unwanted attention, so I kinda gave up on that color after 12+ years exclusively. That being said, not man interior colors go well with red. Black is the safest bet esp. for resale. Mine had black+red interior which worked well. I don't think Terra will work well. it is your car afterall so get what you like, but you may want to keep ease of resale in mind.

    Unless im color blind that looks more like a lighter version of the saddle brown color. Ill sum it up for you...If you like it, thats all that matters...As for me, I prefer the black or the beige.

    I have Terra/Sapphire and the interior color is great IMHO. I added carbon fiber wrapped interior panels as the Terra/Wood was not that good looking.

    Red/Terra....I'd keep looking....but for something else that goes with Terra. You spend more time inside the car than you do outside.
