gotmark73 · 02-14-2006, 01:51 PM

I am ordering my new coupe when avail. almost like that, except with a grey leather int. I say go for it and please post pics

2006bmw · 02-14-2006, 01:53 PM

I test drove a red E90 with ZSP. It looked smokin'!

ACZakka325i · 02-14-2006, 02:00 PM

No save the red for an exotic sports car. No BMW deserves to be red, or even yellow for that matter. save it for the Ferrari

Red is a great color! I have one on order...

db17k · 02-14-2006, 02:29 PM

I'd definatly get leather interior with that, it'll be hard to sell without it, especially a 330i

marcus330i · 02-14-2006, 02:54 PM

Thanks for the input everyone. I should probably go for the premium package just for the leather and the lumbar/mirrors/bluetooth/etc. I plan on doing a 24 month lease and wanted to be able to flip out of it early in case the 335 comes out. It sounds like it's a love/hate color which means I probably can find a buyer or someone to take the lease over...the payments/price will be very good since it's going to be Euro Delivery. I have a friend living in Germany so my costs of going over and getting it are minimal.

coupedupcivic · 02-14-2006, 03:02 PM

I have electric red and it definitely brings out the bold stance and body lines of the e90. Get in red...insurance doesnt go up and the hoes love it!

Hula-Hula · 02-14-2006, 03:08 PM

red is cool.. especially with the blacklines someone already mentioned!!

I see one everytime I go to the city here.. It looks great but I don't like the "chrome window-surroundings" to it.. It's looks much better with "black window-surroundings"!

Go for it!

Speedy E90 · 02-14-2006, 03:53 PM

I usually hate red BMWs but that red they have for the E90 is awesome!!! If I were you Id make sure to get the sports package!!!

If you are younger and not a puss its a absolut must.

JSpira · 02-14-2006, 06:09 PM

I think Electric Red is hot.

I had an electric red following me around Europe for a day - funny how the license plate was one digit off from mine.

Here's a photo of the two cars in Italy.

chiefhiawatha · 02-14-2006, 06:24 PM

When I ordered my 325 wagon, i wanted a red one to replace the red A4 that I have now. But when I saw the BMW red, I was very disappointed and immediately scrapped the idea of a red 3. It's a very flat, very orangey-red color.

Make sure you see the red in person before you order it; i am glad I did.

Did they kill off Imola? Imola red owns.

RED is the most original 3-Series color in E36 time.

voltron1011 · 02-14-2006, 10:30 PM

If you're thinking of resaleability, get silver.... That's the most bought color used car.

discoboy1 · 03-06-2006, 04:38 PM

The only red car I would buy is a Ferrari

zdognaylor · 03-06-2006, 04:46 PM

I have a red one and don't regret it at all. It helps that the women LOVE it too.

Dude, you do realize that your Avatar is a red BMW, right?

GoRomeo · 03-06-2006, 05:19 PM

I agree. Red on a Ferrari only.

Otherwise red is a car for a girl. (in my opinion of course)

BE.EM.VU. · 03-06-2006, 05:43 PM

If I were to get a second E90, it would be an electric red...third would be the alpine white...the only reason I've got jet black, is because of my wife...she's Italian...enough said!
