Imola Red F10 M5 Build

Imola F10 M5 · 12-03-2012, 09:56 PM

Featured on BIMMERPOST.com

Imola Lives! (Full Black Leather, Piano Trim, 6sp).

I wanted to share the pictures which include to-date the IND painted side grills, painted front grills, painted reflectors, and Eisenmann 102mm Race Exhaust with cross pipe.

I am going to get the car tinted locally and I have wheels coming next week. One I have the wheels I am sending to Chicago to have Andrew and Nate from IND do some body work and enhancements. I will post pics as I progress. Enjoy..I really am.

Let me be the first to say congratulation, that sir, is one awesome looking blood red beast. Love it.

PS Do I see 102mm exhaust tips?

DesertEagle50 · 12-05-2012, 10:21 AM

IND mods look great. Well done!

Can't wait to see this Beast in person this month

Bokke · 12-05-2012, 11:15 AM

Very nice!

PatrickC23 · 12-05-2012, 11:39 AM

One of my favorite e46 M colors - congrats!

uhn2000 · 12-05-2012, 12:42 PM

Stunning, wow!

datbimmerdoe · 12-05-2012, 12:51 PM

holy... congrats! she's a beaut

wisesoul · 12-05-2012, 01:03 PM

Oh myyyyyy. That is perfect. Didn't know they'd allow you to order that color!

GTHAUS · 12-05-2012, 01:46 PM

Great looking color on that car for sure! Congrats.

Pazzo009 · 12-05-2012, 03:50 PM

Woooooooowwwww!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

ucla95 · 12-05-2012, 04:38 PM

Best M5 color I've ever seen.

Seattle135is · 12-05-2012, 05:55 PM

Just frikkin awesome - one of the best colors on an M....

Imola F10 M5 · 12-05-2012, 07:51 PM

Thanks all. Quick answers to your various questions:

1. The exhaust is the Eisenmann 102 with cross pipe. Sounds and looks great.
2. The ordering on a non-individual color took an extra two months of production. You can request any color from your dealership that in turn goes to BMW NA to request a special order. I am told they don't always accept. In my case they did for the very unreasonable cost of $5,000.
3. IND did all the grill paint work.
4. I am sending IND the car this month to do more custom work. I will post updated pictures once it is done.

Thanks for the interest.

Rob@StrasseWheels · 12-05-2012, 10:24 PM

Love it, congrats!!

wdimagineer · 12-05-2012, 10:48 PM

Beautiful color! I almost ordered the same color. The $5K wasn't a big deal. I just didn't want to wait.

Seeing your pictures makes me regret my decision.

hsiaochinsan · 12-06-2012, 01:18 AM

sexy!! i love it.

Charlie Brown · 12-06-2012, 06:11 AM

Two things.

1). This post pisses me off for making me regret not going with a custom color... Damn it man why did you have to awaken me from my blissful ignorance? I was perfectly happy paying $1800 extra for Azurite Black.. What's another $3200 for custom color? Doh!

2). I love the red and simply must see your car in person. I live 20 minutes from IND. When will your car be there? Are you local to the Chicago area?

singularity · 12-06-2012, 12:42 PM

Looks good indeed. Not like that old picture of the pink M5 F10 from long ago. Are your imola red side grills stock?

Swashplate · 12-06-2012, 05:33 PM

I love this so much.
