2012 c class coupe

the lease for my car is up and i'm definitely set on getting the new c class coupe. i'm pretty much set on getting the red leather interior. i think red leather would be fun! my friend has the new bmw 3 series, black with red leather and it grew on me. i just can't decide if i want white or black? i've seen a few white with red interior at dealerships but no black with red, which i'm dying to see. does anyone have any pictures? any tips would help as well.

I was going to get White on Red Leather until I saw the red leather in person. It looks very close to redish/burgundy in my opinion. I opted for the black interior instead.

Yeah, I find that it looks better in the brochure/online. In real life it appears brownish rather than redish.

I have an obsidian black car with the black MB Tex. I think the MB Tex looks great. There is nothing cheap about it. I just came from a BMW with full leather and this is as nice.

I'll have to get some links for you

I could put up pics of my flamenco red interior, but in pics it always appears a much brighter/lighter shade of red than what it actually is, as said above by others it's a dark red/burgandy type of red colour

2012 C350 Coupe Black/Red
Hi...new here, just picked up my C Class 350 coupe - black with red leather.

I really like the flamenco red color...it haunted me after seeing a German You Tube video on the C Class...and had to have one.

I think it's a sweet color combination with the aluminum trim, but didn't see anything wrong with the MB Tex either in the cars I tested.

I don't have any photos - just got the car today, but here's an MBWorld link to an E350 with a very good photo of the flamenco red.

And another article with photos of black and red.

Regards!

Agree

Just ordered my c350 coupe the other day and I was like many looking for white ext and red int but settled on white with black int. The red isnt as appealing in person.

I would go white on red.

Black gets dirty and you can see all scratches and swirls.

Ash grey (very light grey) seats are nice too, which is what I have. When people walk by my car they always do a double take and look at the seats.
