In Car Park near Tower Bridge, London today- looked MINT- on German plates.
Very impressed. Love the colour- not seen one like it, was it an individual one?

Searching the net id say it was a late e30 classed as a "edition" as topless mentioned
Is indeed a e36 colour and think it suits the e30

I think Rav's is Renault 19, 16 valve Innit blue ?
and yes some cabs were sold in Germany with Techno violet and design trim similar to the touring range,

Sure about that? I thought it was just the last of the tourings that came in this colour. Plenty of them over here.

I agree, seen quite a few tourings in Germany in that colour with trim to match (similar to the UK neon cabs), but never any cabs in that colour. I think it was just a special run-out colour for tourings.
Interestingly, they did a run out cab in Germany in Brilliant red, with red trim and piping similar to the neon cab style too.

Interestingly, it doesn't have side indicator repeater lamps in the front wings.

Neither does mine, it's not a requirement here.

Mine is exactly the same and the colour code stamped on the front suspension turret is violet-daytona. I must say it is a very nice colour when you look at it in the sun
