Two tone interior

Too bad the US will not have this as an option.

Those pre production A/C knobs look WAY cheap.

Drillslinger · 07-05-2007, 09:59 PM

Yeah, knobs look cheap but that almost looks like Piano black trim

Manual HAVC (non-auto). The 99-00 E46 323i/Ci was like that unless you got the Prem Pkg.

Well the press release from BMW NA detailing the specs for our cars specifically states that rotary A/C knobs will have the metallic trim. So basically they're the same knobs in pretty much every new BMW on sale here. Good news.

Two knobs on the current 3ers. Both control the dual zone temps. In the center the button on the left is the MAx setting and in the center of the one on the right is the Rest setting.

I believe that every 1 Coupe will get standard dual-zone climate control much like the 3 Series (hence, the metallic trim).

That's part of what I'm onto, but I believe you're correct.

This is probably the basic edition for Europe. Like the basic 1 series hatchback edition in Europe, which doesn't have dual zone clima, multifunction steering wheel and brushed aluminium trim. If you see the tachometer, you will see the red line in 5000rpm, which means that is a diesel edition.

Man, I wish BMW catered to the NA crowd a little more. Those seating surfaces are really nice. If I had my choice, between this and extended leather (as a $3,000 option, of course) I would def. pick the cloth.

I would also jump at the chance to have a standout interesting cloth or cloth/leather option. If they whore us out of this setup I guess I'll have to pony up for terra leather

Dinos120ci · 07-06-2007, 08:33 AM

Alpine White for me with this black/orange, leather/cloth interior with brushed aluminium trim.

Mike0105 · 07-06-2007, 10:02 AM

I've love to have two tone cloth and leather but apparantly we aren't worthy in the US

Terra and Montego or Alpine for me

Genericuser1 · 07-06-2007, 12:23 PM

I'd go for that although I'd prefer Leather and Alcantara. I have that in my car now and love it.

2ksc · 07-06-2007, 02:29 PM

that's a RX-8 interior, right? i wonder how the 135 compares in interior space to the rx-8...

I had an Rx8 until yesterday......my sister totalled it in the Costco parking lot. I loved the interior of that car. Definately one of the most functional compromises I've seen in a sports car. Oh well....at least I wont have to worry about selling or trading it in for the 135i!!!

Deutsch · 07-06-2007, 03:04 PM

That^ looks like Lemon, which I believe is a special order interior color only. It's a very lovely interior color, the only thing that sucks is that you can only get a black exterior- the only color that works with Lemon interior.

kindtree · 07-06-2007, 03:15 PM

That two-tone interior is something that I would definitely opt for, if given the choice. Not only does it not look cheap, but it also kinda spices up the interior. It does the cloth thing without looking clasless.

mikeo · 07-06-2007, 03:48 PM

it is REALLY annoying that we don't get cloth as an option in the U.S. i ordered the cloth option on my R56 MCS.
