Agreed, Melbourne Red Looks Richer as an Exterior Color But Imola Red Looks Richer and Brighter as an Interior Color. I Really Love IR as an Interior Color. Love it in my E46 M3. Wish the E9x M3's still had an option to order IR...

To me the Imola Red is the better color. I think the Melborne Red has a tomatoish tint at times...thus why I went with Alpine White.

cool photo but i dont think thats a very good comparison at all.

Imola dosnt change much in different light, Melbourne does. That picture is obviously on a bright, sunny day which shows melbourne as very similar to Imola.

I can spot the difference between them at a glance.


The poll is closed but I would vote for Imola/Imola anytime over Melbourne/Fox. Actually, Im really considering selling my AW/FR and ordering a Imola/Imola E92
