From what I have seen of TR in person is that it looks a little on the orange side like other have said. But not in a good way. It feels like a red that have faded over time. My best friend had a red FIAT panda in the early 2000 that had discolored to exactly this tone.

Even my wife called it a nail polish job going wrong.

With that said, colors are personal if you like it go for it, like I will go with ZB even if everyone else here hates it.

That's what I think too, and I subtly tried to say it, I didn't want to be too direct so as not to hurt anyone, but now that you've broken the ice I can say I agree with you, in some light conditions it looks like a faded red paint over time, and it is not a nice way to describe a color.
However, the color choice is very subjective, I just wanted to say that TR has nothing to do with the red in the first video and pics posted, but the last photos are very close to what the color looks like in reality.

By the way, I am surprised that you know the Fiat Panda.

I grew up in Italy so I've seen my share of Pandas

I totally agree with the comments that TR can look faded in certain lighting or at various angles.

Will check again when picking up my car, as long as it's still there. Kinda got orange vibe this morning, and it was cloudy.

It is in for service so more than likely a porter or a tech parked it.

Got it. Thought it was a regular parking lot. However, the only ding I ever got on my E92 M3 was when it was in for service.

I plan to let my 7yr old run wild with decals on my AW G87 order to make up for the blandness. I just couldn't bring myself to order TR bc orange - as a 'Nole I just can't own anything remotely orange haha.

A set of Apex wheels in Motorsport gold won't hurt either. I don't know how I'll get through the next seven months until my car shows up ��

No way that's TR. It's got that pinkish hue, not orange.

Not G87 related, but clearly TR related. A new video of the XM painted in TR.

I'm kinda thinking that they misspelled tomato when naming this color. Toronto = Tomato...just a thought.

I find ZB to be epitome of faded in appearance. A paint job gone wrong lol

That orange shot is just the camera/flash. There was never a day that my TR X3M looked like that.
