Misano Red A6. |
I had a red E39 some years ago. So this is a more recent BMW color decision. The G30 colors in h=general appear to be very limited, at least on the website, but even for the M550 which is showing more choices, there is no red.
Red is a mixed blessing. It sure does stand out. It allows easy tracking by police. And it may make it harder to sell used. I suspect that one reason BMW is not offering is the high percentage of leases.
