Definitely thumbs up as it is finally something else than the boring metallic grey or blue. I would have bought this color as well but it is not available for M-sport kit for the standard E60.

I like that color it pops. Very unique and rare. I think it shows off the lines better than silver or silver grey. Not a big fan of Blue so I would choose this red. I have a Silver Porsche 997 911 CS also and I like silver because its easier to keep clean. My silver grey 550 is also easy to keep clean and looks good.

THUMBS WAY UP!! Looks very classy, yet at the same time can get down and dirty.

I will have this one up for sale next month as I also ordered one with the options I wanted, and loved the color so much I'm getting another in red. you really have to see it in person to appreciate it. it looks like rust in some lights, has a bit of an orange hue in others, and maroon at times. It really does kick a**. I used to be all about the black and silver, but enough is enough, almost every 5 series on the road is monochromatic. Color is back in :-)
