I think theres a good range of colours in the E30 its hard to pick. I like all the reds.

All though I quite like the ones you dont see often like Mineral Blue and Neon Blue. Also that light Blue M3s come in forgot what its called.

lol Brian, You fiend!

My ultimate favourite has to be calypso red, Closely followed by a well cared for dolphin grey, Has a lovely depth to it when maintained.

If I hadn't, someone else would have, and I'd decided that I was going to buy it! Didn't move for two years! Stuck a new battery in it, started right up, and drove it 100 miles home - with a frozen clutch!

Mauritius blue is that the motorsport one? Either that or lazaur blue.

For common colours i have to agree with Disc jockey ozmund, diamond black is lush.

I love having a Mineral Blau one, especially in NZ when noone else has one. The only problem is noone thinks its a factory colour. Other than that I'd love a black one.
