I am about to change my spec to what I hope will be the final configuration and would like people's opinions on my spec. Especially like thoughts on whether red leather will add or distract from being able to sell on in 3 years time and if I have any major misses in my spec..... Thx

335d
MG with Coral Red - Brushed Ali with Black finishers
pro media
MSports +
Visibility pack
Comfort pack
Sunroof
Adaptive susp.
Heated seats
Sliding armrest

[Apl440i or 335d?]

Sounds good to me.

I was between this and EBII over black.

Go for it!!

My spec is the same as your minus the sunroof (which I did consider).

I've obviously went for the superman combo which will probably divide opinions more than any other.

MG and Coral are a nice combo and the leather brightens up the interior IMO.

Buy the car you want not for the next buyer and enjoy it mate.

Taste is completely subjective so just enjoy the car and don't worry about it!

IMO, Coral is OK with a suitable colour, eg. Black, White, MG, etc.

It would be Blue or Red and Coral for example that would cause an issue.

Go for it

Thanks Apl - we are virtually neighbours. When do you get your car?

[Bens3T]

Cheers guys..

Was thinking the reversing camera maybe a useful option, but with the parking sensors probably not worthwhile..

Mine is due early Jan..... Week 1 / Week2

I live off the upper Richmond Road near Barnes, so I will keen an eye out for a Silver 335d!

[Bens3T]

Will do - I travel that way to work.

I got to demo a car with Coral Red interior. I thought it was great! However, my better half found it distracting. She kept noticing it in the driving mirror.

Also, I wear blue jeans most of the time, work too. I thought there may be potential colour transfer issues... So, I went MG and black leather.

I think it's a look that works well with a faster more flash car. So, shouldn't affect a 335d's value adversely.

Great spec.

Not really the same, the RC works for distances greater than the PDC, and Cam shows what PDC is picking up, an enhancement. To be honest I still mostly look at mirrors over shoulder, etc but I wouldn't be without the reverse cam.

Like anything I suppose - if you don't have it you don't tend to miss it - on the other hand if you have had it you don't want to be without it..

I've got a MG 335d with Coral Red interior. So glad I chose it over black - lifts the interior no end and makes Dakota feel about as special as it ever could!

its good for seeing those curbs that often the sensors miss... Mist does cover it at times making visibility poor... i think the camera could have been set at a better angle, quit a big chunk of the screen is covered by there rear bumper.. If you can afford the full 5 camera set (surround view) It would be worth it.

I think the red makes the interior look much more special , i just wasn't brave enough to have it with a blue exterior . great choice

Fortune favours the brave!

I want an M235i with Coral Red interior and Alpine White or EBII exterior.

Dont compromise what you want to satisfy a future owner. This is YOUR new car and its a BMW. Look after it and it will sell in 3 years. I am an Superman spec and I am really excited about it arriving. We have a grey X3 with black leather so I wanted sonething different. I love mineral grey with coral leather and that was my second choice but I was blown away by EBII. Make your choice and enjoy it.

[JohnM]

Great choice you will love it

Absolutely. I can't stand the sheep mentality. Most people are chickens in life and limb.
