Nah it aint imola red.

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
henna is more orange

Either way, that's one good looking motor
Those wheels are sweet, tempted to go for a 5 stud conversion just to increase wheel options.
