I know it's a #firstworldproblem but i was just at the dealer and I really like both colors. My lease for my c450 is up in a few months and i'm placing an order for the 2019 model. The exterior choice was going to be lunar blue and saddle interior but then i saw cranberry red and that just got me also! So my question is (subjective of course) which would you choose or if you have one of the interior colors do you still like it? Ordering next week as the dealer said March allocations are almost full.

Saw the new 2019 c300 with the digital instrument cluster. Looks gorgeous and can't wait for the c43 models to get here!

With blue exterior I'd go saddle brown for sure. The cranberry will clash with the blue. I have cranberry on my C450 but it has the Palladium exterior, a discontinued color. I have saddle brown on my GLC43 with the black ash wood and designo white exterior, it looks very sharp.

If I were looking at a blue, red, or white car I would lean towards saddle brown interior and possibly black interior for a white car. For dark grey, silver, or black exterior cranberry will really pop. However, if you match cranberry with blue it's just going to look weird, like some breakfast cereal from the 80s.

Thanks! Sorry I should've stated, if cranberry the exterior would be obsidian black or a grey color. Superman color is definitely a no go for me but i've seen some do it. haha

I may do black and saddle brown as well. Tough call but I'm sure either combo will look great!

Saddle Brown. It's just got it.

On the new models, do all steering wheels have the red centering ring? If so, just something to consider w/ saddle.

Blue=saddle brown

I was dead set on brilliant blue and saddle brown (my first bmw 335i coupe was this combo and it has some strong sentimental attachment for me!), but when the dealer found a 2019 he could trade for that had the exact config I wanted but was black and saddle brown, I was skeptical. I then went and checked out some 2019 c300's in that combo and was sold. Black is super classic, but the brown seats gives it something special and unique. Join the club!

I wrestled with blue with cranberry or saddle decision for my cabrio earlier this year . Ended up with blue with a cranberry interior ,after seeing an SL with a similar combo .
After 9 months I'm very happy with the combo and get many positive comments .

No only with the red stitching interior is the red mark included on the steering wheel.
