[scabzzzz]

Nice cars but I don't see any Henna colored cars.

Definitely Zinno.

Nice doppelganger you've got there - I hope to get mine on a track soon too.


I don't think it's zinno - the previous owner told me henna, and it does seem a much warmer red in person. My 325ix was factory zinnoberrot, and was a cooler red, more on the pink side. Maybe the respray is brilliantrot? The few pristine areas (inside the trunk and doors) strike me as brilliant or henna, maybe somewhere in-between.

ahhh, mystery resprays.

Can someone say e38 style 5 w/ nogaro centers? :D

omg f'k yes.

Clean them. Scuff them with a scotchbrite. Dunk them in Duplicolor bronze.

Do it !!

Here is inspiration:



A solid color makes wheel look bigger. The bronze color plays nice with red while also taking part in good 'contrast' factor.. and since the color black isn't used - it's not like you're hiding the wheel overmuch.

91 would be brilliantrot. Henna it is definitely not.

It was DS from the factory, and was then (cheaply) resprayed in 2006 or so to this current red color.

Alright it's been too long since my last update. Finally got my new wheels and a chip installed, and yesterday fixed my broken water pump and stuck-open thermostat. That called for a bath and a joyride up CA Hwy 2!

Enjoy the pics. Wheels are 16" e38 style 5s, centers painted Nogaro Silver.


















I'm just happy the car made it on a 4-hour drive without mechanical failure. THAT is a step in the right direction!


+ new sig :)

How many ban points would I get if I did that to a real M3?

^Yeah wtf is up with that car. I had to double take on that shit

OP, nice wheels for real

[d_elson0]

looks good. black is lip might look better painted red since the sides/rear have been painted red too.

looks good though. 205/50s looks pretty good

fill and drill?

I'm in love with that m3. Is it a p-chop, or is there any more info?

[Ziggens96]

Really nice 318. It looks like the color is actually Henna - kinda orange in some pics.

I really doubt that's nothing nothing but a very convincing photochop. Kinda reminds me of a 318ti.
