My Barrique Red 325i

Hmmmm.........my jury is still out on this color. I'll have to see it in person to make a decision.

Call me a girlie man, but I think it has potential: just imagine it lowered about an inch with a 35% tint and a set of BBS CH rims........

Yea, it's one of those colors that's so hard to feel on print. You have to experience the color in person.

That is what I was thinking, it is a very feminine color. When I look at the color, it sort of reminds me of lipstick color. That is just my opinion, not knocking any one down. Feminine or not, I still like the car because it is an e90!

Good to see another military person here. Welcome! I'll ask you the same question I've asked the others that have gotten the small USAREUR plates: Why not get the longer ones? They fit the car.

I got the small plates since I am shipping it back to the states in a couple weeks. The long plate looked odd on the front bumper--sticks out way too much, but filled the back appropriately. So, went with the dealer installed bracket, makes it easier on the tail end. I have had the long plates for the past 4-years and loved them.

The color is definitely interesting. I don't mind the looks, it is a bit girlie too in my opinion but will be passed off to mother in the next few months. Does look "lipstickie" as said in another post. But hey, if you are going to be bold, then go for this color! I would have modded the car extensively for my tastes, but then that is me. I get to look forward to my 5 this December. Thanks for the feedback, got nothing but positives from all who have seen it here around Ramstein. It definitely stands out from the rest and would look killer with a lowered stance, rims, etc.

Barrique doesn't work at all for me - it just doesn't look right.

I think this will prove a very unpopular colour, so those who opt for it can be assured of exclusivity!

Nice pics! I always said, if this color had been available in time for my June ED, it would have made my color choice a lot harder. The pictures only strengthen that thought...

Congrats, that's a very nice color! It def is nice to be able to finally see BR on an actual E90.
