SF red + Magma red - too much?
Can't decide on the colors. Yeah, I know it's like fitting shoes, a personal choice. My build of red exterior and Magna red interior is really unique. Wife says to go with Ivory or Cognac seats. Too much red? Comments?

M - where too much is just right??? I went with the white interior. It's a really nice contrast. But I have never been a fan of red seats (in any car), so maybe don't listen to me on that one.

Ivory white or cognac it is. Don't care what BMW calls it but that Magma Red interior is orange.
Wish the paint hue was more on the blue, cherry side rather than yellow. The orange/red hue of the S.F. red metallic almost borders on something you'd see on a cheap car. |

Only if they had true red seats.

There might not be enough contrast between the exterior and interior if you go red + red, even though the shades are different.
Personally I would hesitate to buy any kind of "should I do it?" color combos without seeing some pictures. I didn't find any for this combo. Something else to consider is if SF Red is dark enough for you. If you would prefer it darker then maybe pick another paint and worry about the interior choice then. Charles

Anything but white. It's like wearing a white shirt for a spaghetti dinner; it won't stay white long.
The Cognac does have a subtle contrast and a classy look. |

I would vote for the cognac as well. That’s what I chose for mine with black sapphire metallic. It gives a nice contrast with both the black interior and in your case the SF red.

I don't think the reds match well enough so I'd avoid that combo; magma is more orange than red IMO.
