Default Getting a paint job- best color of red?

As many of you know I recently totalled my car, well I bought it back and I am fixing it. I was wanting to do a slightly differant shade of red when I repaint it. What do ya'll think the hottest color of red is? Thanks

I got my 95 Red SC resprayed with the Imola Red paint (the BMW //m color you have in the pic). Its a great color! Unfortunately I don't have any pics of it, as I don't have my car here with me @ Berkeley

Imola red... The best red EVER produced! My dream is to get a 2001 Imola red M5! On top of the Lex of course, need something for when the BMW breaks down but do Imola red man! has a real deep, blood look to it.

Here's my 2 cents:

- Absolutely Red (On the 1st Gen IS300's and early SC430's) or

- Matador Red Mica(On the current 06+ IS and GS Models)

I agree. I have a '94 in garnet and I had it repainted the same color a couple of years ago. I think it may be just a tad darker than it used to be, which I like even better. The later models had no metalflake in the paint and just didn't look as nice IMO ...
