Hello everyone, I finally decided to purchase a 04 330i ZHP.

I’ve decided to get the Imola red exterior with black cube trim but can decide on the interior seat color. I really like the natural brown leather but don’t know if it goes with the Imola. What do you guys think about the natural? Or should I just stick with black. Let me know your opinions, if you have any pics please post them. Thanks…... [driving]

i got a black w/ silver cube trim. (at first i wasn't sure about the sliver cube, but that was the only one avail w/ black leather.. but now i'm glad i got it.)

i'll eventually get around posting pics, but anyway, i loooove my car!! can't wait for the weather to actully stay above 40s to take her around again.. [:(]

but i say you get whatever color you like the best. i picked black, because all the tan leather car we had in our family got dirty easily and was pretty hard to take care of.. lucky they were leases ^^;;

I don't have a red car, but did pick the black leather interior for practicality. If anything is spilled, it'll most likely not show up... it does show dust, but all you have to do is wipe that away. I compared this to the work required to keep the tan seats in my last car smudge and stain free, and it's a no brainer to me... black is it. Now I can spend more time driving, and not obsessing over keeping the interior clean.

I have the natural brown with Mystic Blue -- I love the natural brown. As noted by others is does get dirtier easier, but its easy to clean with a leather cleaner/conditioner. Black is just too hot here in SoCal and the brown is just better-looking anyway, particularly with a red exterior.

I went for black leather with the red exterior and I think it is the best combination for this red.

I was concerned about the black leather in the heat but this was not a problem at all last July and August with temps around 110. I thought that I would need seat covers but never did need them.

I had the windows tinted with a very light (legal everywhere) film with high UV protection rating. The film was a $100-$150 up charge (cant remember the exact amount) from standard film and it makes a big difference.
