what is it with you guys.. black, silver, white, blue, blah blah blah.. so boring.. go for IMOLA RED.. i tried it before on my 523i.. looked great! e39 is already looking dated.. gotta put bold color on it to make it shine.. my car was a head turner before.. i easily sold it over a year ago when i decided 523i was too sluggish.. my 330i now is imola red too - inside and out!
