imola or sepang

I'm not one for flashy colours on sports cars, as I prefer the 'sleeper' look...

Dark burgundy Corrado VR6

Avus blue e34 M5 (maybe less subtle than the others)

Ruby black Z4MC

So I think Sepang would fit right in.

See in that pic it has a green/ gold tinge that's a little like brass metallic..

Looks great, the coupe carries the colour Better IMHO
 
I think all Imola owners know how much attention a freshly polished Imola car gets from kids under the age of 10, the clear judge of a true sportscar :p

Sepang is nice, mainly because of it's rarity (therefore particularly interesting to Z4 owners, who are aware of this), but half the population would just see it as a brown old mans car, circa Rover 600. I'm a big fan of Sepang with light interior on a roady, as i admire it from a Z4 nutters PoV, but for me it'd have to be the Coupe in Red. I've never had so much random positive attention "I'm not a fan of cars, or red ones, but yours is beautiful" said one local green party supporter the other day.. that i just wouldn't get in any other colour (except maybe IL Blue?)

Sepang is probably my favourite colour on a coupe, it just looks so right. On a roadster I'm not as convinced by it, no idea why but it never seems to have the same appeal.

Same here, don't know why. Maybe the roof in black on a roadster?

It isn't a "grab the eye" colour though & i imagine this pic with Taz's car in Imola & it would certainly take the stage :wink:

Oh yes, it would tend to dominate - not a perfect rendering of Imola but it gives an idea

Doesn't that look better !
 
Both colours are very nice . Not been on a meet/drive with a red Zed other than Perry' s but I'm sure his colour red although not imola will always look better out front, along side or in my rear view mirror
 
Unfair lighting conditions skewing opinion here. Sepang in the sunlight is a thing to behold.

ye i think in reality both cars would normally be lighter
 
Obviously all opinion is personal and no offence meant.

Sepang is horrid IMO. Just because its rare isn't a reason to keep it unless your purely going to wait for that specific buyer. Just not my idea of a sports car colour, in fact on any car.

Imola on the other hand is timeless.

World wouldn't be right if everyone had the same taste.
