As found

So the body shop never color sanded the car? Awesome job!

 

Nice job. I would be nervous doing that to such a high end vehicle.

 

i dont know if its the camera or what, but that color looks tough to deal with. great job

 

That's an excellent observation, it was a very very difficult color to deal wit, Is a rare color indeed, believe it or not they call it "Red" to me is "Brown" or more like a "Cooper' it's a factory BMW color very rare to see, mostly you will find it on the BMW M series and 7 series.
