    Yes as bmw325ci mentioned it was to check out for dents/waves

    Op you are doing it right! Best oem red bmw has.
    Thanks and yes you're correct!! Imola Red was always one of first choice if i were to respray this :)

    I feel the same way... I've always wanted to see an Imola Red Mtech Coupe, nobody ever tackled it

    Agreed :)

            Looks excellent! Nice work and color choice.

            How many hours, approximately, did the body shop use for labor and paint? Just looking to compare versus a quote I have received.

                  Great colour choice!

                  Imolarot is pure sex. Consider me a bit biased though seeing as how I just picked up a BMW in this colour :D

                    I fapped. Imola Red is the color my E30 will be when I have the time/money to have a full respray done.
