Imola Red or Imola Red II?

VinnieAces · 03-09-2012, 11:05 AM

guys need this information asap,

getting bumper resprayed and am bringing it in within an hour,

i noted under the hood of the car near a wheel well it says IMOLA RED II,

need somebody to confirm whether to tell the shop to paint it imola red II or just normal imola red.

thank you

Check the driver's side near the tire pressure indicator; reference the color code here.
According to Dr. Colorchip:

For an MY08, there's IRII, and there's also a "Bright Red". See swatches here.

For an MY07, there's no IRII, just Bright Red. 2007 swatches.

For an MY06, there's no IRII, just Flaminco Red Metallic and Bright Red. 2006 swatches.

what's the last 7 of your VIN? i can run it fast and get you the BMW paint code with name, or you can call your local dealer with it and they'll give it to you.

^WHS works well too.

Looks like we need to use the spreadsheet or call the dealer rather than using the swatches on the Drcolorchip site. Good work v3.2mc!

Now...why does it say Power 246............ ?

You're welcome! I learned something about color codes today: use the spreadsheet or use the dealer. Post up some pics after the respray!
