DETROIT AUTO SHOW EXCLUSIVE! First Real-Life Photos Of The All New BMW 4-Series Coupe Concept's INTERIOR!

Now, if you just saw the Detroit Auto Show's BMW 4-Series Concept Coupe's EXTERIOR, you'll probably want a look INSIDE as that was just as controversial as its skin. At least when I had to speak up about it.

While the interior is largely inspired from the 3-Series sedan -- who didn't see that coming -- there are some updates to its trim that is completely...well...out there. Take, for example, the braided leather that, to me, looks like its from a cowboy's belt. Not only is it on the door panels, it also makes an appearance on the seats. Even worse, the car's cupholders are braided as well.

The good news is that if you're holding out on actually buying a new 4-Series Coupe, this is 90 percent what the actual vehicle's interior will look like. Just use your imagination and pretend its interior will NOT be swathed in leather and its ceiling will not be Alcantara.

All else considered, we think this is essentially bang on.

Check out ALL of our interior shots showing YOU the FIRST real-life photos of the BMW 4-Series Coupe Concept below...

This concept interior is hideous. Can't wait to see a production interior.

I love the contrast stitching although the more subtle of the stitching, not the larger multi layered stuff- baseball glove style... I love the color and the fact their is leather everywhere... So, overall it's over the top for my taste but I am sure they will further incorporate the leather everwhere look and contrast stitching, and hopefully the color of that leather in other BMWs.

I'm thinking the early 1990's braided leather belt is a look that needs to stay in the 90's. Thankfully this is just a concept.

Leave the crazy leather options to Ram trucks. At least they can blend it.

Hate the orangish braids for seats. If I wanted to go cowboy, I would buy a nice beautiful TRUCK, not a BMW coupe with cowhide braids. What kinda of crap is this. Glad it's only "concept".
