6 1/2 y.o. E92 still gets compliments?

John 070 · 07-04-2013, 05:12 AM

I go into the hood to buy my gas, premium is expensive, na mean?!

It's full serve, so I tell the dude to fill it up with super. He goes yo man, I'm lovin' your interior (coral red).

I highly doubt I'll ever get another new BMW (have you seen the prices lately, got better things to spend our money on, like our home and mortgage), but if I did, I'd get a red or burgandy colored interior all day long again!

Yeah, red leather is a real man-magnet.

My Coral Red gets the same reaction too from random people at gas stations. Still can't believe how good the Space Gray and red interior looks on a 2007 car.

He did give me one of those....

Desert_Fox · 07-04-2013, 12:51 PM

Lol personally every guy I've talked to LOVES the red interior, girls are iffy on it because "It doesn't blend well with the exterior's color". Haha, oh well

keepittrill · 07-04-2013, 12:51 PM

I couldn't see myself in anything other than black or white. Everything else feels unnatural.

kdbryce · 07-04-2013, 01:06 PM

Coral red ftw

Went through the drive thru at Dunkin the other day and the bitch was all over it

Benstuck · 07-04-2013, 01:16 PM

Red may be nice, but too flashy for my subtle tastes. Mines is all stock cosmetically and people are always staring and giving compliments.

Dark_Knight_335 · 07-04-2013, 02:13 PM

Honestly I thought I'd get tired of it or would be too flashy but I never get sick of it - black sapphire metallic with coral red is just sick!

ken1137 · 07-04-2013, 02:34 PM

BSM with coral red interior ...simply awesome! Unfortunately I could not find one when I bought so I went neutral

It's ok man- it's still a BMW so it's still awesome

My biggest concern now is my armrest turning black from my freakin arm resting on it...hope this coral red survives long term...

Between that, and my hardtop, those are by biggest long term fears.

BEAR-AvHistory · 07-04-2013, 02:48 PM

Its real nice but also have black on my 135is. It looks sweet. don't freally know what I will do the next time.

tennis_pr0 · 07-04-2013, 03:17 PM

Driving through dunkin doughnuts the other day I got a compliment on the coral red. I really think if the e92 will always get compliments, no matter how old they get.

ChiCityN20 · 07-04-2013, 06:22 PM

I really want coral red man! Dont wanna settle

PTinVT · 07-04-2013, 10:17 PM

I didn't think this was going to be a coral red thread based on the subject line

But when I put my summer rims on, people ask me if my 2007 E92 328xi is a new car. The design is holding up really well, I honestly never think about replacing it anytime in the foreseeable future.

djjasper · 07-04-2013, 10:35 PM

Compliments from young and old, male and female, strangers and friends, about once a week on average. I dig the coral red more each day, and im going on two years now. You just can't compare it to any of the standard colors or neutrals. Even if you only do it once in your life, when you have an opportunity to choose red leather you just gotta go for it.

Donuts?

A doughnut or donut (/ˈdoʊnət/ or /ˈdoʊnʌt/) (see spelling differences) is a type of fried dough confectionery or dessert food. The doughnut is popular in many countries and prepared in various forms as a sweet snack that can be homemade or purchased in bakeries, supermarkets, food stalls, and franchised specialty outlets. They are usually deep-fried from a flour dough, and typically either ring-shaped or without a hole and often filled. Other types of batters can also be used, and various toppings and flavorings are used for different types, such as sugar glazing, chocolate glazing, or maple glazing.

I have had a female border officer question me about the car (AW/CR) for 10 minutes, and letting me go without asking anything about my trip!
