Protonic Red interior trim change?

Docray1 · 09-11-2016, 11:26 PM

Did BMW delete all the red trim from the interior of the Protonc Red version? The car was supposed to arrive with red trim on the seats and red stitching, but cars showing up have solid dark grey seats. Any idea on what happened here?

If I were a betting man I'd say it has to do with the trim level, which affects the interior and whether it's leather or leather and cloth.

Well, I don't know how that should change things. I'd bet they ran out of the nicer red trim seats and substituted the inferior, plain ones. Pretty disappointing, really. Now you pay a big premium just for the paint color.
