i'm gonna spray my 325i convertible in the next couple ov weeks,at the mo its zinnoberrot,but i fancy a brighter red,should i change the colour,or leave it standard?,if i change it ,what red should i use,please help

Ferrari red.

yep rosso red i think it's called. Theres an Alpina B10 Bi-turbo in bmwcar with month in this colour dangley bits

Mmmmmmm redddd

Calypso red. but with extra silver to give it a greater shine

Keep it Zinnobar; looks great when it's nice & shiny!
Easier to spray too (& under the bonnet etc will match), unless you're stripping the shell entirely & taking it back to bare metal?!

Find a posh upmarket dealership, we have one round deals with Brabbus, Porsche, Ferrari and the like, then go and pick a colour in this weather at least you'll have a true colour not an internet one...... Just read that back sounds strange but hopefully you know what I mean?

Regards Mark.

I might be a little biased, but if you want to keep the colour an original E30 one, and you want a brighter red, then brilliant red is perfect:

No offence but your sig pic makes your car look orange.

Personally Id go for Ferrari red

No offence taken, I'm just glad it doesn't look pink!

Sig pic was taken with my camera (Olympus) and the pic I posted up (also my avatar) was taken with a Sony last summer....

Ferrari red's nice, but would that really suit an E30? Some Photoshop mock-ups might be a good idea before you decide

Calipso Red

I like the extra silver idea

scott, i know i am biased like zayyan, but here is what brilliant red can do for you

brilliant red master piece

you'll have to see it up close one day mate...when its clean of course

You have to make sure your painter is happy for you to go for a complete colour change before you pick a coloure mate. I say that because there will be a lot more work for him if you decide to go for a colour change, unless you're going for a bare shell re-spray. If you're not and you want the colour changed, then the will have to do the engine bay, door shuts, boot shuts and a whole heap of other things. If you do go for the change, then i'd agree that the Enzo red is really hot.

brilliant red or ferrari red all the way!!!!

heres my old iS in brill red:
