.. new guy w/ a 318i ...

Another thread hijack here, but isn't there another red that's between the Cardinal red and Oxblood? It's Crimson red i think.


And to the OP, i love the color combo.

Hmm, I don't think so. Do you have any pictures of what it looks like? Taurus and Cherry Red are pretty rare, but I've never heard of Crimson.

Actually, there are 3 reds. Cardinal Red, then the much less common Taurusrot (aka. Oxblood), and then Cherry Red. Oxblood red is a much darker shade. Here it is from in Sport Form, from an E28 M535i.
Sorry for the thread hijack.

For what, a farm implement? Maybe a water pump for my crops? s52 is where I'm headed.

i never liked m10's till i owned one either. but ive come to love them. nice car.

[delphini]

welcome!

That interior is not cardinal, but actually "Cherry Red". A little know fact, but you mostly see Cherry Red in White 533i's (83-84). Cardinal didn't come until (I believe) 85 or 86.

Looks like a nice clean car with lots of potential. Good luck with it.
