Seems like a good time to plug the E30 Registers again:

If you want your car featured on a Register, post your details here!

The register doesn't offer a search by colour, unfortunately.

Sorry, don't think the wiki could do that. But we can make this a Silver Amnesty thread :D

Definitely don't hear of many Granite Silver, like mine..
(Not that I'm well versed enough in my E30s to know the difference between Granite, Lachs, Sterling etc.. I just know that 2nd hand Granite Silver parts never crop up on the "Parts For Sale" page..)

I kinda thought that apart from granite, silver was one of the most common colours.

Indeed. Silver and Pink are the most common :P

Fair play, if "show us your keys" actually registered some interest this thread could be gold dust!

I've got a silver wagon but even I think this is taking 'desperate' threads a bit far.. what's next.. a 'what's in your glovebox?' thread.. or how about 'what does your washer bottle look like? (with pics)' :mad:

anyway there are a squillion silver E30's out there.. I'd actually rather have a metallic blue (the dark one.. christ knows what the name of the colour is) or a calypso red one! I've even thought about flogging my lachs and buying one in the colour I want! 8O

Is this not any different from the people who buy exhaust manifolds "for the cosmetic effect" of something that only gets seen when you break down? Or people saying "urgh, Tech 2 rear spoiler on a Tech 1 car, looks awful". As if anyone else would ever notice.

The OP wanted to see silver E30s. Be nice.

Guys thanks for the abuse / silly comments. Much appreciated. The reason I made this post was to assess how rare the silver shades are as I hardly see any, especially in the parts for sale section as, has already been backed up above, parts are mighty hard to come by.

Especially with the iS, most seem to be red.

don't forget that most people who own a silver E30 will not see your post or just won't reply! :)
