Gorgeous. Love the combination.

How's it go in the snow? Any problems? Snow tires?

That's awesome. It's the same color combo I ordered. Did you order the dynamic handling package too? Looks like you have the toggle switches. Can you provide feedback on this pkg?

Thanks. I actually posted this to tease you knowing that you got the exact same combo and was coming in soon

I didnt get the dynamic handling Package. Drove one for a while with it, didn't really see the value personally myself (subjective). Plus I have my own suspension plans and the Hydraulics would complicate that. I do however have the buttons still which is standard on the Canadian Spec Msports. It controls the drivetrain and steering. I drive in sport mode 90% of the time as I prefer the steering feedback (stiffer) and I shift Manually as well. Surprisingly, I've seen an increase in fuel economy by doing it this way.

Do you get bored of a red interior? Seems like it would get annoying after a while??

I think I'm prejudiced against red. My grandpa told me a grown man should never wear red clothing other than a tie and that idea has remained with me.


Seems like Alpine White is far and away the best exterior color for a red interior.

Great now I can look at your vehicle until I get mine.

That is interesting I was told by the dealer that the buttons were not standard and I'd need to get the dynamic handling pkg to have those buttons. Maybe the dealer misinformed.

I have coral red in my E92 and love the color, I'm a fan of the bi-color interior, makes the car stand out and much more interesting. It is also rare in my area to see white with red. Yes by far white works best with red interior.

Yep, I dont think it was clear because it doesn't say when ordering it, but at least now its confirmed. You can come down to Regina and Look at it in person if you want hahah

We'll have to meet up once yours comes in. White on Red is stunning. Funny how it works, I told people my combo and they just don't think about it being a nice combo, but once you see it in person, I've had nothing but compliments on how the contrasting interior looks. You will get the same too.

I agree white on red is stunning. I also get the same weird look when I tell people about it but in person it IS the combo to get. The fact that I adore AW + Red interior also lead me to the purchase. If you come to Calgary drop me a line.

I actually didn't see this post... sorry.

I actually love it the most over all that's available. Black gets too boring for me and I think Oyster would drive me nuts. Its actually not as red as it looks in the pictures... I think it could be more red
