Crimson red vs. Imola Red

Anyone know how much different they are and what the difference are?

I love the Imola red...

IIRC, Imola is a deeper red than Crimson.

Yep, Crimson is a little more washed-out looking.

If BMW offered Imola Red on the 135i, I would probably purchase one just for it. I love that color!

Imola is like Interlagos, in that its reserved for special cars. Aren't the only two non M cars to get Imola the e46 ZHP and the X5 4.8s?

By the way.. Imola red is the best color in the world. Anything looks good painted Imola. I don't care if its a rock or a turd or what. Imola red rocks.

Interlagos is pretty much in the same boat too

Here ya go. It's a 3-Series but still Crimson. Thankfully Crimson is much closer to Imola than the previous red was.

HotShoe, Thanks! That helps a lot. I have an E46 in Imola red and it's painful to try and part with it.

Anyone know how the Sedona red compares with Imola? I'm desperately trying to hang on to Imola....

Not even close in color. Sedona is more of an Orange and pink combination (depending on light) than a red.

I would say Sedona is more of an orange and brown mixture

I could see that... Either way, Crimson is the closest you are getting to Imola right now.

I believe that is correct. The ZHP package was offered on e46 sedan, coupe, and convertible models...

I LOVE MY IMOLA RED!
