WTB: E90 DCT with fox red leather + any color other than space grey, in California

[MyNameIsNotSure]

BIMMERPOST / Classifieds

Asking Price:

None

Item Interest

Must-haves:

-Fox Red leather
-DCT
-4 doors

It’s kind of crazy to me that there’s only 1 with this spec in any paint color in the whole US on autotrader right now, and only 2 on cargurus. Didn’t think DCTs with Fox Red were so unobtainable.

Also I really don’t like space grey and I’m not willing to wrap.

Other things I’d like but I realize may not be realistic:

-Located in SoCal but I might be willing to travel as far as Colorado
-Good overall shape/condition, ie not super beat
-Enhanced Premium Sound
-Any blue paint would be nice

Either blue with a Fox Red interior is not a standard recommended combination! For obvious reasons!

I did, there’s only 5 examples in the US on there and they’re all either sold or they’re the ones with the half red half black which I don’t like.

Haha I never got the hate for this combo. I had a LMB 335i with red seats and it looked amazing, and I always got compliments on it. Both those e90 blues are so incredibly dark blues that it works great, just looks like a black car at night and that’s when the red stands out. I agree on something like LSB or Yas it would look silly.

But I don’t care I’ll take any color other than space grey! If it’s a decent example. Seems like there’s nothing out there at all though.

Somebody is selling fox red e90 interior in the bay. Buy that and just swap into a color of your choice?

I’ve been thinking about this. Are you familiar with the process—how involved is it? Like how many hours of elbow grease we talking? I’ve done some preliminary research and it kinda looks like a PITA haha

No experience on it, but been considering installing a set in my e90. I would think it’s bolt on as long as you match the car’s existing set up? Either folding or non folding rear seats?

Swapping the seats and door cards aren't super involved but much easier with a second set of hands; center console is a bit more difficult. Just went through this with a non-M E90 last month. I agree about the blue over red: absolutely stunning combo that is criminally underrated and unfortunately quite rare. I tried to track one down in that combo but ended up with my other favorite (red over beige) instead. Alpine white seems to be the most popular choice with red...
