who does NOT like the new fox red color?

just wanted to see if anyone else feels the same way i do about the new fox red colored leather... i prefer the dark maroon color ive seen in the older m3's... back maybe 5-6 years ago

the new fox red has alot of orange in it.. doesnt seem to look as nice

just my opinion

Ok, I'll bite. Fox red is my least favorite of the available interior colors... but even saying that, I think it is fine and still looks nice. Just not the color for me. Do I get a prize?

Saw it in person... fell in love... ordered it (with JZB) and can't wait for it to get here. Fox Red FTW!

Have you seen it in person? The reason I ask, is it is fairly difficult to get an accurate photograph of. I do like the darker red you refer to, but of all the current colors, Fox is my favorite. It's the only one that adds some life to the fairly restrained exterior color pallette. Don't think I'd choose it with Interlagos, though.

Fox Red is beautiful, must be seen in person to appreciate.

I was supposed to order a 335, and I was going with the Coral Red interior, but after seeing the M3's Fox Red, I could never get the Coral Red, its wayyyyyyy too bright red for me. The Fox Red is classy compared to the Coral.

I have not had one person get into the car and not instantly fall in love with the fox red leather (along w/ the car in general). Aside from the engine, the fox red is my favorite part of the car. But i guess it's not for everyone just like how fucking Angelina Jolie isn't for everyone. HA!!!

Dude... I still think you've taken one of the best pictures yet of the M3 interior. Just LOVE the look of Fox at night with the interior lights on.

My car will be here in less than two weeks. The anticipation is KILLING me!

I like Fox Red if it is not extended. I personally wouldn't get it but I do like it. I do not like Coral Red at all. Looks like a color that belongs in a brothel.

brothel

When I ordered my M3 I never even seen the color but I knew it would look cool just by the name itself and it would match perfectly with Jerez Black I ordered fox red ext. I just finally saw fox red in person a few months ago and I am glad I picked it out. My M3 should be on its way on a ship soon the wait is still killing me

I like more of a "baseball glove" brown color, personally, but it's not really sporty enough for the M3.

Fox red is "ok"
