That's a good color to compare it to verse various different reds from other manufactures. It definitely leans more towards that color. It's not the same obviously but I think Toronto leans slighty more orangey. If you like Guards then you'll probably like Toronto. I will say that I felt Toronto on my X3M had the most orange hue when it was overcast out instead of high sun.

I looked around on Google images to find something that I personally felt looked fairly close to real life and I would look at the pictures from this page here: https://www.reddit.com/r/BMW/comment..._bmw_2021_x3m/ . Click through the pictures this person posted and you'll see how it looks in a few different lightning conditions and I feel that it's very close to real life. You'll see how the last two photos look a lot more orange in the slightly overcast shots.
Thanks for this. I didn't realize how orange TR looked in overcast - I wonder if it looks overly polarizing with cars that have red calibers equipped.
I have a TR M3 and X3M for the wife with red calipers. Actually looks more orange in direct sun. Calipers look like they match fine.
