I have seen the Barbera Red pics, but have yet to come across any Indianapolis Red pics. Anyone got anything tucked away on a hard drive?

To keep this thread interesting here is a pic of Leemik's unbelievably sick M3 (a personal favorite of mine) Credit to the car owner for the pic...

sick picture
def a sick pic!
Golffrr have you guys had anyone order Indy red?
I don't think Indianapolis Red is available (even as an individual color) for the M3. Only the M5 and M6.
:drool: more pics of that M
Melborne > Indy

agree. love that photo though! such a clean m3.
I like Melbourne, but want something darker, similar to Vermillian but a bit lighter than Vermillion Red.

For more pics of the car just search "leemik" its his car and there is a good amount of media of it on this board
Hmmmm. I really don't think Indy is a approved individual color. Vermillion would be very cool.

Apparently this one is Barbera:

Though I don't know if/how that has been proven for certain.
100% it's Barbara Red. The owner picked it up during ED. He didn't order it, it was a mix up with the ordering. He drove it for a bit and returned it to the dealer. The car is now on sale on autotrader...

It very likely it's the only Barbara Red M3 in the US.
It's hard for me to find a color that the E90 M3 doesn't look good in. I obviously prefer some colors over others, but the proprtions, shape, and curvature of the car's panels all work well with just about any color.
Wow, that pic is so clean!
I thought that was the E90 that is currently on Ebay? This is an E92, and was purchased years ago.

Here's a link to the U.S. Barbera Red that had a mixup in the ordering process. The link in post #10/12 is to a different car.
Yep.

So, does anyone have any ideas for verifying the color of the E92 I posted a link to? Actually, looking at it with fresh eyes I want to say it now looks more like Barbera to me than Indianapolis. However, given lighting conditions it is really impossible to say 100% what color it is without some other evidence (picture of door placard, or perhaps owner testimony).
