It's not a standard E30 M3 red colour.

It is however Imola Red, i spoke with the guy who's car it was when i was there at the Ring 2004, just in case anyone says it's not.

It may not look imola red, BUT IT IS. i spoke to the guy for half an hour as it was my favourite M3 at the S14 meet. It has a 32k km engine and was full sport evo spec.

Brilliant red is brighter. my old car

Either way, that's one good looking motor :cool:

Those wheels are sweet, tempted to go for a 5 stud conversion just to increase wheel options.
