Default Interior Color for Machine Silver

I have not seen cashmere and do not know if it will go with the machine silver exterior. Any thoughts on the best color for the silver coupe?

Black IMO is the best combo. It looks very classy, my 01' Roadster was sliver/black. I think Red would be cool if its offered, cashmere I don't think would look that great.

I'm betting that the cashmere will look great. I've seen quite a few silver vehicles with beige interior, I think it is a classy combo. Also cooler than black in the hot sun.

I have a silver/red 2000 and love it. Get lots of wows as I drive. But, I know red isn't for everyone.

I would have to go with black or gray. For me the cashmere is just to light.

Default I sat in a Silver C6 Yesterday w/ Black Interior

My dealer had a silver vert in their showroom yesterday. I think the silver needs a little 'pop'. A light interior might get washed out. The car was awesome to sit in and the fit & finish was above my expectations. I currently drive an '03 745i and felt very comfortable in the C6.

My order is for Le Mans Blue/Light Gray.

Good Luck!

I have always thought silver w/red interior is a great combination.
Almost bought a '96 convertible with that combination, but; it was an automatic

the silver/red looks awesome...

red looks good w/silver/black/white imo ... (maybe red/red too)

With silver I dont think tan goes....sorry...I say go black or red int.... even the grey is a auto fashion no-no ...even though some 360 Modena's do it, ...looks bad

all in my punk 24yr old opinion

More of a manly color scheme.

However for Tracey.. the red interior suits her.
