I'm going to be dying the leather in my convertible red but what shade of red is the question? The car is white. E30 red's were cardinal and oxblood.

Anyone know what shade red is in the E92/3 convertibles?

I'm thinking Walknappa Imola Red from the below link:

It's a good shade of red, Imy :)
If it ain't broke, fix it till it is

If you know someone with red leather already, you can get it colour matched.

Crimson is the pinker one, Cardinal is the browner one. Not sure about Cherry??
