Why dont BMW do Imola Red any more?

Well, as a standard / optional colour anyway.

Any time i see a recent BMW where its been selected as an "individual" colour it really works.

Much better than the orangy red and metallic red they're doing...

Depends on the car. Imola red does look great on some cars, but it looks absolutely hideous on an E38 7 series in my opinion.

I've only ever seen Sakhir orange on a current shape M6 and I think it looks absolutely magnificent.

Yes would agree. Doesnt work on a seven, but i've seen it on an e60 535d M Sport and it looked well.

Just "odd" they dont do a good strong red.

They still do some interesting colours. Ruby black is still being done, is it not? Absolutely gorgeous with a cream leather interior.

Yeah lovely colour but like Carbon Black needs to be kept very clean for best effect.

Wifes current z4 is Sapphire Black, so she'd be looking something a bit more different come time to change.
