Opinions: SMB on Fiona Red extended w/ carbon bucket seats
Is this a unique combo or a "been there, done that" color combo on the F80/82s?
I'm a fan of it mentally, but to spend that coin on Individual, could a better combo be had? I Like the blues, but Atlantis is too blue for my taste. Resale value in the future hinges on this simple start-game choice lol. |

While there are images (renderings mostly) of the carbon bucket seats in Fiona and Tartufo, so far I have yet to hear of anyone actually getting approval from BMW to do carbon buckets in Fjord, Fiona, or Tartufo. Others have commented that they have submitted their individual order to get these but so far no indication if it was approved. Currently the order guides indicate that Fjord, Fiona, and Tartufo is ONLY available on the standard seats.

I have a SMB F80 CS and I think it will work beautifully.
Blue and red and analogous colors in color theory and on the color wheel. Also, the purple HUE in SMB will work even better with red than the dark blue tones will. Good luck getting it approved OP! Don't take no for an answer, I had a hell of a time getting fire orange approved.

I first saw this combo on an M6 on Bimmerpost at IND. I fell in love. I ordered my F82 virtually the same way (the M6 I believe is Coral, mine is Sakhir). On SMB it'll look great IMO. On lighter and brighter blues like YMB and LSB it's definitely an acquired taste.

Maybe? I know the carbon buckets are actually made by BMW versus a 3rd party manufacturer so that could be a reason.

I order the BSM/Fiona combo because I just loved my Jet Black/Coral on my 135i. I like Coral better than Fiona (and jet black better than BSM), but can't do much about that!

Since this thread just got bumped, it’s worth noting that this has changed for MY2022 (July SOP). Fiona Red, Fjord Blue, and Ivory White can now be ordered in combination with the M Carbon Bucket Seats. Tartufo, unfortunately, still cannot.

Same. I'll pay a premium to swap them with someone who wants my standard Fiona's as well

There's a ton of SMB F8x produced in 2019-2020 so just know that it's not a rare color anymore. If I was spending the money on an individual paint it'd be something else, personally.

What color interior would you go with the Mexico? I am also considering the Mexico Blue, but debating either Silverstone or Fjord... but blue on blue may be too much Not sure if Fiona would work with Mexico (yes, beautiful with the much darker blue)
