I had red on my e46 M3. No issues with fading after a few years. Also, you can get interiors ceramic coated now, I believe, and that might help.

NP! I'm glad I did. I love the red...it would look best with dravit IMO, but I really want that premium feel of the alcantara. Oh well....silverstone it probably will be for me. I really don't understand why BMW does things like this. they should just offer all the color the same configuration. Would have loved to have been able to get carbon buckets in Tartufo. Thanks to everyone who contributed here.
