I was looking through an online car sales website (mobile.de) and stumbled across this Imola Red E60 Edition Sport.
Its the first one I have found pictures of -- haven't seen any on the BMW (Used Car) website yet.
This Edition Sport is one of the new "Edition" models that BMW has release in Europe for 2008. More details are in this thread. Imola Red and Lemans Blue are the two new colours offered exclusively with the Edition Sport.
I thought (and had hoped) that Imola Red would be a little darker -- it looks different to the Imola Red E39 M5 in the picture below -- or is just the way the colour looks under different light
What do you think -- does it suite the E60...??

Eh, not for me, but I could see how some would like it, think the only e60 red that looks good is the indianapolis red on the m5, I would like to see that color on a non m5 e60
