Even if the car was originally painted Imola Red, it could be repainted badly (ie, something other than true BMW Imola Red on top of the original). Even the door tag or invoice would not prove that the color seen today is the same factory finish.

The paint options is only $2500.

Looking at those pics I DON'T little truffle on light poplar, not a good look

In person truffle and light poplar looks good. I really like light poplar now.

Being a photographer myself, you can tell both sets of photos were taken at different times of day. One is mid-day and the other is at sunset, or close to it. There is your answer. And whoever said red is har to capture is dead on the money!!! :thumbup:
