When I was watching my 325xi coming off the truck this morning, the dealer also got in a Barrique 330xi on the same truck. Now the lighting conditions weren't the best this morning (kind of cloudy), but from what I saw, I'm not thrilled. It looks really dull.
I hope that it looks alot better when it is clean, and when the sun is out.
The funny thing is, I'm a huge red fan and I wish BMW would once again come out with a really nice dark red color. In 1999 when we ordered our 323i, we were on the fence about getting Sienna Red, which has similar qualities to what Barrique has today. I had a similar reaction to the color one day when the called me to tell me that they had gotten one in and that I could look at it. It was a cloudy day (again), had just rained, and the car looked horrible. After seeing that, I just couldn't grow to like the color no matter how nice it looked clean, because I knew that I'd hate it the rest of the year when the car wasn't clean and it wasn't sunny out.
