Yessss.. the red makes the interior looks much better especially with the deviated stitching and combined with black leather..

Not Mugello Red, but my interior is Coral red. Nothing but positive comments when people sit in my car. The red contrasts nicely with the black colored components of the inside.

BTW, if you're a single guy, the ladies LOVE red leather

Love my Mugello Red! And so does everyone who sees it. Haven't regretted the decision once.

My only complaint is dye transfer from dark jeans. I used Leather Master Leather Barrier (as I know some others on the board have done), and it seems to be effective. The dye cleans off pretty easily, but is still an annoyance. It would not deter me from getting MR again, but I would think twice about Silverstone!

Yep. No regrets on red. It's VERY red, and I do wish the front seat backs were in black leather, because the sea of red in the rear is a bit much, but the front looks terrific, which is what you'll be staring at anyway.

Samuari has his seat backs black in his pictures above...hmm I wondered that was a later change with the manufacture...

The seats in the full ///M is one of the features o liked the MOST when configuring my build. My X6M build was stunning in Donnington Gray with Mugello Red interior.

After (a lot) of indecisiveness, I ultimately settled on the 50i because I just couldn't justify the price tag on the M when 90 % of my driving is done at 10-15 MPH stop and go traffic. Even the engine in the 50i is WAY over powered for the driving conditions in my surrounding area.

Have you ever been to the zoo and see a tiger or a lion or bear or wolf...? Fascinating and magnificent creatures to look at, but you can sense they are miserable in captivity. That is exactly how I feel whenever I see am M version of any model, lol. Always a stunning a sight and I'm sure a pleasure to own, but sad to see when I pass by it on my motorcycle when it's just stuck in traffic,

I can admit that I troll the X5M/X6M threads because I love you guys ///M tour, but I will wait for my first M whenever I get the opportunity to change zip codes for the better!

All in all, it looks like we are all in agreement... yes to Mugello red!

Coral red is an interior color available for the M Sport versions of the X5/X6. My car is an X6 50i M Sport. Not a full M.

The only red interior for the X5M/X6M is Mugello Red. I have built both versions of the X6 multiple times before settling on the 50i.

I have met a couple guys at BMW meets that have Mugello Red interior. If you compare Coral red with Mugello Red, Coral red is a bit darker than Mugello. Mugello is a sharp bright red. A bit more "pop" compared to coral red. Also, the leather found in the Full M versions is of better quality than the leather in my M Sport. My leather seats have more grain in it, while the full M leather is definitely smother to the touch.

It's hard to really see the difference in these two versions of red without having them side by side. Even in pics, these reds are very similar, but when side by side the difference in shades and texture can be noticed.

Hope this helps. The first pic in my car, Coral red. Second pic is Mugello Red, off the BMW Build Site.

Ahhh that makes sense. I see what you mean; the M version doesn't have so much red in the door panels. The texture is likely like my '15 5.0i (F15) which isn't bad just more rough texture. Both look pretty good. I test drove the full M with Mugello Red finally and its very sporty on its look and luxurious to the touch; it also allows for ventilated seats. Looking for a great deal on one with Mugello Red Interior and Alpine White ext. thanks for the reviews!

My only regret is NOT getting Imola Red in my first M car, since then, Sakhir Orange then Mugello Red. You wont regret it if youre thinking about it. Its not overkill either since the upper dash is black.

My logic is... It's a 120k car. When you open the door, and sit in it, it should feel like it. The red feels like it to me
