I thought I clicked on the wrong link until I expanded to all pictures. That's... unfortunate. I actually googled terracotta to see if it was just bad color adjustments on the dealer's pictures, but it looks that way on almost all google images. Some are a little more brown then others but they all have a distinctly orange hue. Have you seen it in person?

The lighting/photography is very bad in this. Terracotta is not nearly that bad in person - more brick/red/brown than outright orange. While all terracotta is still a bit much personally, a two-tone terra/black carpets or terra/black dash would work well for me. This is closer to reality though still accentuated/brightened by flash:

OK I can get on board with that but I would also make the wheel black. Just for reference I loved the cinnamon interior in my E46 M3.

I also would not put black wheels on anything. I think the setup of the linked car is pretty sweet.

I think he meant a black steering wheel?
Light colored steering wheels and shift knobs make zero sense to me. |
