Engine and color confusion

I have been reading and looking at a LOT of E53 SAV lately.
I am unsure how the engine and color combo goes.
What I have noticed is that if you want Imola Red, that means you get
a 4.8is engine?
Did they make other engines for Imola Red?
If I get a 4.8is engine what color choices do I have?

If I get a manual shift, what colors and engine choices do I have?

Thanks

5 Speed Pre-LCI or 6 Speed LCI was a M54 engine only option.

Colors, Interior and Engine options, there was a screencapture I saw somewhere (BMW forum) recently can't recollect where.

Here is UK forum thread that may be of interest but again not US numbers or options in any sense.

Did they make other engines for Imola Red? maybe 4.4i? :dunno:
If I get a 4.8is engine what color choices do I have? Black, Silver, LeMans Blue, Imola Red

If I get a manual shift, what colors and engine choices do I have? Any color, 3.0i only (I6 engine)

Thanks

Imola Red is nice.

Welcome,

It seems any color was available with the 3.0 or 4.4 (even LeMans Blue or Imola Red). With the 4.8 you are limited to Black, Silver, LM Blue, or I Red, though internationally Stratus Grey was also available.
As far as interior is concerned, black, beige, grey, or (my favorite) truffle brown for i models; black or cream beige for iS models.
