Why cant we get interiors like this?

M34lnch · 05-23-2010, 05:45 PM

Why can't we get 135i interiors like this?

sb335is · 05-23-2010, 05:53 PM

Why would i want cloth?

all i want thats there is the ash tray

soltz14 · 05-23-2010, 05:54 PM

id prefer this over leather any day....so much easier to maintain...plus it looks great

heffergm · 05-23-2010, 05:59 PM

I used to swear by cloth. Then my last few cars were leather. Went and sat in a cloth car again and thought I hadn't been in my right mind to have liked the stuff.

I'm not against a cloth option, but I'll pass every time leather is available.

moveswiftly · 05-23-2010, 06:59 PM

i love the way it looks....

Absorber · 05-23-2010, 07:27 PM

I like my interior just fine.

JHZR2 · 05-23-2010, 07:32 PM

Cloth and leatherette definitely are the best materials if longevity and good looks over the entire lifecycle are key.

But BMW has to keep a certain level of "luxury" here so that they can get more folks to depart with their money.

I just got back from a BMW car show in Wuerzburg today. I saw several cars that had nice interiors like this. Most were custom jobs. I will pst some pics soon.

Why not just have a local upholstery shop do this for you? Anything is possible given enough time AND money.

ennislaw · 05-23-2010, 07:42 PM

I prefer my interiors simple ... and black. I got the black leather interior and Light Burl Walnut trim and to be candid, the light reflecting off that stuff and the other shiny plastics is a bit much in direct sunlight. Be nice to have some non-reflective CF or other material as an option for trim. I can understand why people like the cloth inserts, but I don't; the M-sport seats in leather hold me well enough.

As to this choice of an interior being available as an option, sure why not.

Ditto, I like it a lot; especially the colors.

looks like something you'd see in a mazda or nissan sentra spec v

oasis3582 · 05-23-2010, 09:59 PM

I'd love a cloth or alcantara option.

+1 on alacantra but not cloth

1ToBeOn2Wheels · 05-24-2010, 02:13 AM

I love the cloth seats on the euro 1ers. On a 5-series, probably not. But on a 1er, I'd seriously consider it, especially in two-tones.

Stealth135i · 05-24-2010, 02:52 AM

I like it cause its different but cloth............... mmmmmmmmm i'll pass...

moff · 05-24-2010, 02:55 AM

Cloth is certainly the cheap option in the UK, I would say 9/10 125i / 135i's in the UK come with leather.

Cheaper models tend to have cloth.

We don't get the leatherette option in the UK which is dissappointing.

rori zahr · 05-24-2010, 05:00 AM

this is the same one I got. mine is black on dotted white and black...
sport seats like these look awesome

Dackelone · 05-24-2010, 07:04 AM

The OP interior picture would look right at home in an exterior color like this ONE!

Why not jazz up you interior like these guys did!

ptack · 05-24-2010, 08:22 AM

Does it come in coral?

BrokenVert · 05-24-2010, 08:25 AM

Those seats look fantastic. IMO it's how all two tone seats should be patterned

imported_mega · 05-24-2010, 09:59 AM

I hate leather, and I hate fake leather, and I hate the coral leather in my 135i

I would love to have cloth, I ordered my r56 mini with cloth and I miss it
