Barbera Red, most likely. It was kind of dull out today, and the cars were covered in dust....maybe strange lighting? Here's another of that one.
thanks, have not seen barbera red on the bmwusa page...interesting color, not for me, but cool to see different colors...

Why? There are many people here, including myself, who chose the 545/550 with sport package over the M5 not based on price but based on an unwillingness to put up with some of the M5 issues for performance gains that can really only be exploited on the track.
very tru, let's not starts this arguement/discussion again tho....

Looks great! Congratulations!!
I'm sure (or at least hope) that they took good care of you at Rahal -- unless you dropped my name that is...then they probably jacked up the price and found all sorts of ways to gouge you...
