Finally took some decent pictures, after a good cleaning!







Unfortunately, I drive this every day and here we are a week later where the ice and sanded bridges ruined everything.

Could you not quote the entire post with image links to comment? Whenever someone does that, the images are pulled from the host again and pretty soon the bandwidth limits (if any) are exceeded and others don't get to see them.

The blackout grills look pretty sleek on Imola Red! I might have to Photoshop myself that with some blacked out headlights, for curiosity's sake.

BMW doesn't track colors. The only way to find out would be for them to go through all the records ca by car, which they ain't gonna do.

According to Dupont color stats red cars make up between 10 and 14 percent of all cars painted. That means my 2006 Imola red is one of 38-50 on earth!

So for all red - do the math - 10% -14% is not a lot and they aint making any more !!

You really should paint your rear plate frame or pick up the already painted one from Bimmian. The color-matched frame really makes the back end flow nicely... (I posted a pic of mine in the ass-end thread)

Last rain over here is still showing on mine, and weekends have been too cold to give it a proper wash. :/

Don't drive anywhere near West 7th street, or you'll get covered with all the construction dust. I get Ruby hand-washed about every other week at the Cityview Carwash on Bryant Irvin (formerly called University Carwash). There's a mobile guy (has trailer with his own spot-free water supply, power, etc) who stops by to do a 5-series in my neighborhood...He does an outstanding job for cheaper than my hand washes at Cityview, but I've lost his card

Thanks for the compliments, guys

I try to take pics at opportune times, and clean the car in anticipation of those opportune times as well. Honestly, I find this area of the US is relatively clean-ish and not really dusty/messy enough to wreak havoc the day after the car is washed.

As for IB vs. IR... ya can't go wrong with either!!! I just wish my red was more metallic vs. solid.

It's funny, One doesn't realize how dark our reds are until they're sitting next to a Guards Red Porsche. Our red is like the color of oxygenated blood.
