After falling completely for nickstoners 320ise in the for sale section (criminally low asking price, wish I saw it sooner!). What is the availability of Glacier Blue 2dr coupes? Dont really mind which engine, auto, manual, but would prefer a late E30 and not an M tech kitted one.
The reason for this question:
Many Thanks.

It could be Cirrus jim. I did some digging and came back as thinking it was Glacier. I could be wrong. I'll happily be corrected either way.
Another angle showing the colour:
Just done more digging, eurgh, Geoff the previous owner stumbled across it from the first owner, lucky guy!! Wish I had seen it for sale. What a Gem! Someone let me know if it comes back again! lol

I saw the first two pics and thought (ohh, thats nice too), then the last one!
So Cirrus is the 320ise I posted up then? The search continues...
...although on google images the Cirrus results bring up some very grey looking cars...

Cirrus was never massively popular but I've known of few 4 pot Lux saloons in this shade.
Fal - yes that was mentioned above. I asked about the colour lol.

I think the 320i is glacier. the two colours are hard to tell apart depending on the light and camera used but glacier is more silver to cirrus's more grey look.
One in my sig is cirrus.

The car in the first post is almost sure glacier.
Glacier is more blue than cirrus.

Cirrus was the early shade. Came out in 1987 on nthe Chromies and ran to late 1989 and was replaced by Glacier.

That clears that up then. Many Thanks.
Saw a 100k mile Glacier one on ebay. Tried to ask a few questions and got a very rude reply. Somehow it's already at £2500!!! Looks lovely though.
