The best I can describe it is between Vermillion Red and Coral Red...it's absolutely stunning if one likes a good Red interior shade. My briefcase and camera bag are the exact same dye as Fiona and I'm constantly stopped by strangers asking where I got them just because of the color.
Most of the pics in the OP are way off white balance. The interior lighting was set to blue (not purple) and the wood has a red hue to it and complements very well.
Why a 740e? Launch of the iPerformance products. An M760i was the 2nd option but will be displayed at another show soon.
And anyone who's displayed at SEMA knows what a PITA it is with the Union requirements. Not surprised the info sheet is so incorrect.
