what colour e30 wouldn't you want to own??..

[kangman]

We all have our ideal/favourite e30 colours, but which e30 wouldn't you buy, solely based on colour??


I wouldnt own a Neon Green or Glacier Blue Metallic e30, lovely colours but just not my cup of tea

[Rav335uk]

Anything in Red.
Every Red car i've owned has always bought me badluck.
I rolled one of them

That manky Blue that Magpies was wearing

Mineral Blue

I think its an E30 colour, Safari Beige, I can't stand that.

[bigwinn]

doom blue (cant remember the proper colour)

but then I'm sure some will say bronzit....

[DanThe]

Calypso, ive never liked it and never will, not a fan of bronzit either, or anything brown TBH, I dont mind mineral or doom blue if they are nicely polished
Renault blue is another no no

[Rav335uk]

No tony, Blue, so not mine.

[jmc330i]

[magpie]

cirrus blue ,glacier blue ,royal blue [doom blue]

i like lazur and maritius blue so i'm not racist

[billgatese30]

All I have ever owned is 2 door H reg Brilliant Red E30's Can't escape the fecking things

Sort of agree with this! Normally hate red & white.

With a few exceptions...

Could only have a white e30 if it was an m3 covered in the warsteiner decals

and would only have a red m3. Normally hate red but on a e30 m3 it's so 80's and loud you can't help but like it!

My first 2 E30s were Bronzit with Havanna Cloth, the next two were Alpine White, I thought I was jinxed!

[law99]

There is a vile green coloured one for sale in the cars for sale threads.

The only green car similar to that I've like is a SEAT Leon Cupra.

[ajay]

I have owned a number of e21,s and e30,s in colours i at first did not like but ended up liking them all,so now its not so much an issue more so than if its a good car in the first place. But as good classic,s become more scarce nowadays its more a case of like it or lump it (even the dreaded moredoor) can be made to look dare i say it decent! LOL

Same as rav, red is by far my least favourite colour, I think its disgusting. Callypso is worse than red on e30s though.

+1 would never go red and especially not white

I never wanted a red E30, but a tech2 sport in brilliant red does look great, as long as its still red!
I bought mine 10yrs ago on body condition alone after a year long search. It was by far the best condition of all I looked at, even if it was a colour I didn't want. If I'd bought one of the others I looked at, chances are it would of been a toaster a long time ago.

I never wanted a white touring, but again, this one (other than obligatory rusty tailgate) is really sound, and now the white is starting to grow on me - which is a good job really, as my brilliant red sport is doing a good impression of white in some places

Insurance company stats claim red cars are a higher insurance risk due to the colour. They might have a point.

[penton08]

malashite, neon or lagoon..... not a fan of green cars!

[Coops90]

malashite, neon or lagoon..... not a fan of green cars!

Malachite is the best E30 colour!

Would probably have to be white for me

[MattTheHat325]

I think red e30's look really nice if they are standard, and really nasty when they are modified, just my opinion! Strangely enough I feel the same about White ones despite owning a modded White one!

I'd love a grey one, maybe I'll give mine a new coat one day!

[eko]

must admit im not a fan or Red cars even though I own one.
Only bought it as it was cheap,clean and a way back into E30`s.
Bored of it now though to be honest
Must admit though Bronzit is one of my favourite e30 colours after Lachs Silver.

[polsta]

is that it in the pics eko ?

what is it ? im on the lookout for fairley economical e30 , red or alpine white facelift

i think different colors suit different models, lachs is what does it for me in a pre facelift/tech 1 and my favourite

but am a fan of bronzit and henna red, would love one day or even now, a tech 1 kitted in either color

[magpie]

is that still running the bluemotion economy donk Tony ?

[johnl320]

Saturn blue, you all want it, you know you do

[Morat]

I've had three white tourings in a row now! Most people think I've just had the same car for ages White is trendy again now, I love parking my E30 next to brand new Audis. Sadly the rust on the tailgate kinda spoils the effect.

I wouldn't want a faded red one, but otherwise.... I'm actually quite partial to a doom blue touring.

[daimlerman]

Lot of hate for neon green....I agree it's a 'marmite' colour,but IMO the hate is because it's never been seen! They only imported 50 neon green cabbies in '91.
I've seen photo's of others in the time I have owned mine,but I have never seen another 'in the flesh'.



Now a'int that pretty?

[aimlessrock]

neon green...no thanks!

the worst i have seen to date is this turd i saw in my local chopping car park over the summer

[clipper]

So glad no-one's mentioned my colour !!!

Sorry Daimlerman, but the neons aren't for me either, but as had been said, if its a good car, the colour grows on you anyway.

I wouldn't have bought a Cosmosblau car but it's what I was given and now I love it for its rarity, I've never seen another one in the flesh.

Makes getting matching panels from breakers a challenge though.
