Has anyone looked at the gallery lately. This is the first red E60 I've seen and I think I like it. I don't think it would go with the Auburn interior that I admire so much, but the red seems different and stands out to me. Does anyone else have any thoughts on the red E60?
This is not the copper metallic is it? Is this a color only offered outside of the US?

I was thinking of an Imola red M sport E60 but I think the car is just too big for such a strong colour. You can also order it in Japan red which is even brighter. I'm afraid that strong primary colours may make the car look cheap.
I'd have to see a physical car before taking such a bold step so I'm playing it safe and sticking with silver. Resale of red cars is never easy either (at least in the UK).

IMO Red is too extreme for E60. Red are mostly on sport cars and i see E60 as a luxury car. M3 red looks really awesome, but maybe not on E60.
