Feeling out a possible sport interior color swap
 
1 Attachment(s)
Would anyone possibly be interested in swapping their red sport interior for the silver/gray sport interior? Just feeling it out.

Would anyone be willing to swap out a sweet limited edition interior for a plain old gray interior?

Good luck unless some is parting a Club Sport.

I don't understand your sarcasm. They're the same interiors including the cloth pattern. The sport interior, red or silver came on Sport models of any year, not just 95 club sports. So, I'd guess they are equally rare depending on if your exterior paint color came with red, black or silver optioned sport interior. On top if it, I'm not even sure I want to trade. I like the silver, but the red catches me eye. I like the red stitching...

Here is my stab at the color of appointments for the sport models:
red paint: red or black
white paint: silver or black
silver paint: silver or black

Personally I like the grey. It matches your car better.

I just updated my reply to say I like what I have. The e46 silver M3's were available with red interior, so I dunno...

Of interesting note, I just ordered a new shift boot because mine has gotten tight and worn from the sun. The only sport boots that BMW sells now are the black stitched ones, no gray or red (I'm not sure about the european option blue). The same is true for the e-brake handle and boot - only with black stitching. So, I did order the black one anyway, and am looking for someone to stitch it with the correct silver stitching. Just fyi if you're thinking about ordering these parts for your interior.

I think the red interior is pretty cool looking and can't see why someone would swap it out.

Red millpoint is certainly less common than grey millpoint, but IMO only flows well with certain exterior colors. I know JdevTi is just kinda toying with the idea and a direct swap would be far easier than having things reupholstered. Another suggestion, if you're up for it Jason, is to find a set of vaders in less than perfect condition and have them upholstered in a color/material of your choice. I picked mine up for 400 bucks and plan on having them redone in a leather/cloth combo. Just a thought, but if red millpoint suits you, more power to ya!

Interesting idea... I'm not up for serious projects like that really for the interior. I just thought if someone liked silver they would chime in. If no one shows up, that's just easier. I didn't think it would bring out trolls though. lol. :)

Dude, I'm pretty new here so I don't see what your problem is. Do you want my phone number and give me a call?

this. Steves just trying to help you out by pointing out that red mill point is rare and it could take some time to find somebody willing to trade. i understand you're just feeling and if its really what you want and are willing to put all that effort in then as jesse said more power to you. either way good luck and welcome to the most wonderful place on the internet

I don't want to reply anymore on the subject. If he's unproductive in threads like this routinely I won't waste time contributing.

He's only stating what most of us are thinking Sport. It's reality served up Southern style.
