Ruby Red Metallic 2019 M5

BB TX · 12-05-2018, 12:35 PM

Picked up my Ruby Red M5 on Saturday in Illinois and drove it back to Austin over the weekend. Caramel interior.
This 1000 mile drive basically served as my break-in period. Love most everything about the vehicle so far. Comfort, performance, and safety features were for the most part all excellent on this trip.
I have the black grill surrounds, side vents and ruby red front side markers and grill center piece to install this coming weekend.
Cheers,
B B

Congrats on the individual paint! Very unique! Looking forward to some pics after your install over the weekend

Gassy · 12-05-2018, 01:36 PM

Gorgeous! Get a good radar detector

IND-Distribution · 12-05-2018, 01:38 PM

Photos do not do this color justice at all.

Congratulations and cant wait to see all the new additions installed.

norbtx · 12-05-2018, 01:43 PM

Awesome! Congrats to another fellow Texan.

BTW, someone stole your engine cover!

M3GymNut · 12-05-2018, 02:13 PM

Very nice. Beautiful color. Enjoy.

BB TX · 12-05-2018, 02:46 PM

We took the engine cover off for the photo because I'm a mechanical engineer from a prior life and wanted to revel in some of the details of this engine. It's a masterwork and I wanted to see it in its pristine state before it starts to get a bit grimy over time.

As IND points out, it's hard to capture the full glory of the ruby red color in photos. Cameras seem to have a little trouble capturing the full depth of this red. I'm very happy I picked this color for the car. No regrets!

Those wheels are the best out of all the wheel options in my opinion! The design and the 19” size helps in ride comfort because of the taller tire sidewall and they are lighter than the 20” so less rotating mass for better acceleration..and they also go great with that color! Win,win

MCOMP · 12-05-2018, 04:56 PM

stunning color!

Miko M · 12-05-2018, 05:09 PM

I agree with the 19" tires, they look great with this car. A 1000 mile journey with no X-pel I hope you didn't get too many rock chips.

uniqueMR · 12-07-2018, 10:54 AM

Very nice. Congrats

adeuel · 12-07-2018, 02:45 PM

Another 19" M5. Love it.

Black substitutes for the grill surrounds and side vents added, along with front side-reflectors and grill center piece in ruby red.
Interior pics to come later.
