Spotted today (well yesterday, god its late!) in Ringwood.
Interesting. No matter how many photos I take of my Macao Blue M3, it always seems to come out looking like a black car. In your pic, the car looks almost silver-blue.

The last seven digits of my VIN number fall into the range: 1894614 - 1894628. From that, I guess it'd be a Europameister...

Standard M3's in Macao Blue: how many?

Hi, From what I've managed to get from various articles on the different M3 special models (Evo, Ravaglia, Cecotto, etc.), it seems that Macao Blue was only used on certain variants. My question is this: was Macao Blue ONLY available on the non-standard models? I have what I believe to be a standard...

Sold it now, but the Pajero Evo was a brilliant car. Chunky, imposing, fast, great handling, fantastic bodykit (attracted lots of attention, particularly from boy racers).

That's interesting. I hadn't realised that 'standard' non special M3 editions were rare in Macao Blue. Makes me like it even more now.

BMWorx, Stoke Mandeville: anyone had any experience?

Hi, Wonder if anyone has used this independent specialist, and if so if you have any comments on customer service, technical knowledge, expertise, etc. I used to put my 325i into BMW indie TCS in High Wycombe, and they were quite good. Stoke Mandeville is closer to where I live though! Any other ind...

Hi All, Good forum. Have just (re-)introduced myself to the pleasures of BMW driving, having previously had an E36 325i. Just picked up my new toy, a 1989 E30 M3 in Macao Blue. Very pleased and impressed; so far, have used it on a variety of twisties and dual carriageway, neither at particularly leg...

Evo bumper tape (red)

Hi,
New member here (just bought an E30 M3). Was wondering if anyone knew where I could get hold of red Evo bumper tape.
