Jade Grey Sport Seats vs Coral Red non-sport

Now I've always wanted a Coral Red interior and now I have the opportunity to make the trade however... it is for a non-sport Coral Red interior.

Would you guys make the swap?


I really have grown to love my Jade Grey interior I like it better then most other options, but I still have a thing for the Coral Red and want it so bad.

honestly, the red gets kind of old fast. It makes me feel more and more like I'm driving a boy racer car everyday. I imagine one day I'll be looking to trade mine for something else.

If you do decide to ever make the swap let me know.

I have 3 e92 sport interiors I could trade you:

Regular Grey
Jade grey and Black
Black

Haha, cincinati isn't too far of a drive I guess.

To be honest the non- sport seats are terribly uncomfortable it you are use to sport seats. At least for me they are. Also in my opinion they don't look as good as the sport seats. If I were you I would hold off and wait until another one comes along. Just my 2 cents.

That's the best combination, but of course I'm biased

So the consensus seems to be stick with sports haha, thanks for the help... I wanted to stick with the sports myself, but all my friends love the red and were pumping me to make the deal.

I was thinking of swapping out the jade grey for black as well since its so high maintenance, but I just loveeeeeeee the contrasts with the rest of the interior being black it gets a lot of compliments. If I get lazy and go bankrupt spending money on leatherique I might swap it to black too.

I have sport seats and have never really examined non sport seats. What are the major differences?

Sport seats are 11 way adjustable and have more "zones" allowing for the increased adjustability. Plus, the side bolsters are a tad taller. Someone please correct me if I am wrong or missing anything as my experience with the "basic" seats is VERY limited.

apart from the adjustments. your side bolsters and butt bolsters are more aggressive which not only serves for a better sporty look but also is very functional and supportive for long drives too.

oh it also has the thigh support too. very cool.

Yeah I LOVE my Jade Grey, I just always had a thing for the red haha. The JG isn't too hard to keep clean and the interior lighting reflects nice off the leather at night as well. If Coral Red didn't exist JG would be my next best choice.
