WTB: 99 Imola red M3 coupe

[mng]

Would have to be low miles (<60k) and in excellent condition. These are rare, so i know it's a long shot

You can PM me or reply here if you're interested in selling. thanks!

Did they make both Imola and Hellrot in 99?

Not mine, but I saw this while searching;

Wasn't Imola just on Euro E36 M3s, and never on any US BMW until E39 M5 and E46 M3?

I believe the U.S. got Imola in 1999

[madsedan]

That is correct, Imola was an Individual order color but was offered on 99 M3's, in 99 there are more verts in Imola than coupe though.

[BavarianBeast]

E36 Coupes in imola are next to impossible to find, much less coming across one at all. I have seen only one and that was at bimmerfest...

[CalSpeedRacer]

i believe imola was offered as an official (non-individual) color choice in '99 (actually i think it was officially late '98). it did not replace hellrot red. what i've heard is that most dealers were not aware of the addition of imola to the color roster so imola cars tend to be customer-ordered cars.

Yeah, I talked to him, he'll sell it but he wants at least $19-20k for it if I remember correctly and it has about 100k miles. Nice car though, if it had 20k fewer miles or was in a couple grand cheaper I'd consider buying and transporting it from Cali.
