Default ? on factory BMW color

I know this is NOT the correct section, but……

I seen a BMW recently that was a gorgeous maroon of some sort. I couldn't tell if it was kinda like a candy apple red or candy brandy whine (or whatever they call it). Does anyone know the name/model/year its from?

I seen it in this section before and someone chimed in the color name, but I forgot to write it down. I tried a SEARCH and no luck.

thanks in advance,
Jim

Maybe this image search will help you find what you're looking for.

You need to let us know which red you're talking about.

I cain't find it. I'll have to stop by the local BMW dealer this coming summer to see if they have one. I think the color is similar to Toyota's sizzling crimson mica

I thought this question was rather odd in a LS forum rather than a BMW forum. But you may be in luck as I have a BMW e46 in Sienarot 2 metallic aka Sierra red II. Google the first name and see if that's it.
