E30 Zone

How rare is this colour havnt seen many about at all! And some of the comments ive seen around the zone there hard to come by is this true?

I really like the colour,not seen many myself

There's a few going around, I wouldn't say it was "rare".

Its a colour thats not rare but deffintly not common

I've only ever seen it on a touring and thought it really suited it.

ive never seen a 2 door in it, all seem to be tourings and 4 doors

its a rare colour ,i have had a cabrio and a 4 dr in that colour ,got a touring at the moment as well ,a zoner by the name off nelly had a baur which even till now i havent seen another one

Its my favourite E30 colour. There was a lovely (but tatty) 320i chromie at Santa Pod this year in malachite with black leather.

I'll see if I can dig out a pic.

It's not that rare, at least not in the Netherlands/Germany:

325i (and my own E21 behind it )

320i

318i (with green/grey roof)

Another 320i

325i Automatic

320i Automatic

316i Automatic (yes, that's really malachit)

And yet another 320i Automatic

316i

And this 320i Baur is for sale in the Netherlands:


Gr Jeroen

first 2 door malachite ive seen, looks good

seems that they are were a more popular colour in mainland europe

I can remember and have pics of atleast 6 chromie's in malachite that have been advertised for sale in the last year or so.

A friend of mine had an F reg 325i 2dr that we turned into a sport rep. We added the full body kit, shaddowline trim, beige sport leather, tech 2 wheel, rear blind etc etc and a full repaint. It had M tech suspesion from new. Last summer he sold it for £3k on pistonheads after advertising it on here when people said it was over priced! Sadly i have no pics.

I also fragged this malashite 2dr.

Not from my folks though, I was brought up in surrey.

I need front wings and sunroof and beige sport seats in cloth.

I have a 2 door malachite green one.

So far spent 6 months looking high and low for a passenger side wing and door and still no luck. So i'd say its a rarish colour.

I'll get some pics up soon when i wind the coilys down finally

I also need a wing. And a door. Struggling. Bugger.

Guys get on the phone to Aldershot car spares. Most of the turds they get in are complete cars which are usually quite tidy. Its on the racking but it won't hang around long before its cubed and pillaged. E30 stuff goes quick round these parts!

They have photos on their website, under breaking for parts section
