I don't know about that, but I could see it being "blood red", since it's so close to the color of hemoglobin. If I had this color, I'd likely have something blood-related for my personalized tags.

LOL ---- the blood red definitely applies

I can see where one might apply that nomenclature to the color but there is no way in hell the car drives like an old mans car

My post was meant as a light jab. In my mind, I immediately associate the color with Cadillac and Lexus.

I think your car pulls it off.

Not everyone can (or should) wear a Fedora, but some can pull it off.

I took the post exactly as you stated- thus my comment about how it can be portrayed that way.

I dont wear Fedora's though

I’m seriously considering this colour now, it really looks like a deep colour that has a lot of popping potential too. I’m thinking black wheels and red callipers similar to Vic’s but I’m just stuck on choice of interior. I would love to do Fiona Red buckets but I’m thinking maybe that is a little too all-red??! I can’t do any whites due to young kids, so my other choice would be Tartufo but it doesn’t come in buckets ☹️

Any opinions on interior choices for this exterior?

I'd love to see it with Fiona red to get a better sense. Pretty sure if you go with this combo, you'd want the extended fiona, as there's less red, more red/black.

I think Fiona is strong and bold and it would work. I always wanted BMW outside of an individual build to allow for a bold(er) red than the likes of Sakhir on M's interiorwise. If you have a chance to build your own (I didnt) I think that option would be fantastic.

I love the options we have these days with interior colors and two tone configurations.

Just got her ceramic coated and here is yet another angle:

Thanks guys. I’m so tempted to go with Fiona Red buckets on aventurine Red but just fearful that it would end up being too red. If I did go with Fiona I’d probably go extended rather than full as mentioned above or maybe just go with full Tartufo. My other option is to stick with my original plan of going with San Marino Blue and Fiona Red interior but I feel that Aventurine is something a little different and maybe a little more special looking.

My thoughts which may be in the minority is that rarely can one see both the interior and exterior at the same time unless the door is open. When you are inside, you cant see the outside color in reality unless you are focusing on the hood only LOL.

I tint my windows too so even when parked its hard to see the inside unless looking thru the windshield.

Just my opine.

Here's a Aventurin over Fiona G83, maybe they'll get around to posting pics soon.

If this color was available when I ordered my car, I would have gotten this in a heartbeat. I have iomg with Fiona now. I would have gotten this color with fjord blue and blue calipers

Do you guys think kyalami orange interior would work with the Aventurine Red? I'm placing my order today and this is what I'm considering. I know I have some time to change but I don't want black as that's a little boring to me. I like the silverstone but I feel like it will look dirtier over time compared to the other colors. Tartufo is ok but it is a little old man looking in my opinion (no offense! and I also currently have a tan interior lol). It would look a lot better if they would do the two tone black inserts like the other colors though. Not too sure about the fiona red.

I think you will be fine with that interior--- I posted earlier about fiona and how its really hard to see the interior when you are outside and vice a versa. Only when you open the door and how long is that for? Pictures and to get in and out is pretty much it.

I personally am not a fan of orange-red combo... too.... McDonald's for me.

I would have loved if they offered a darker brown interior like a mocha, but I'll probably go with tartufo. Brown/tan interior with a red exterior I think is super classy and gives me Ferrari vibes. If not that, then my next choice would be ivory. I have ivory seats in my X5 which is ametrin, and that combo is beautiful. Have had it for 2 years now and haven't noticed it getting dirty.

LOL its not that rare as there are other models of BMW's that are painted this way. But outside of my car, only CanuckM posted one that was in NYC I think.

Im definitely one of the first G80's with this car and the first to post here I do believe.

I love your car even though I'm not a fan of red usually. I believe BMW of San Antonio had one in this color as dealer inventory too.
