OK so I drove 80 miles round trip today to see a Barrique. The minute I got out of my car I was disappointed.
It does look root beerish. It was really weird. I wanted to like the color but I couldn't. When I was in the dealership I would look at it from inside-out and it looked kinda cool and purplish. When I was up close it looked really nice and sparkly. But in the middle it is just kinda gross and brownish.
I am really disappointed in the color selection so far. I would have been very happy with Ultramarine Blue (which was replaced by Mystic). Arctic looks cool half the time, not so cool the other, a little too effeminate. Esp since I take lots of crap about my 'lavender' car - it's really Samoa Blue - at work. Now I may have to go with the old standby...Silver or SG.
It was a beautiful day and lighting couldn't be better. I took my camera, only to figure out that I had a dead battery.
So the camera phone is the best I could do.
On the bright side I got a little crazy on the way home with the old E36.
