Apart from calypso is there any other colour which is quite rare for the touring.

The E30 paint range was huge, and it seems like very few were applied to the touring. The colours known as Neon in the UK were part of the "Design" package in Germany, also applied to cabs.
Have a look at the colours here:

Bit off topic, but I used to own a Nautic Green 320i saloon - a shade which is not in the colour wiki at the moment. It really wasn't a pretty colour and there aren't many of them around (although there were 2 of them in my street at the time!). I sold it to a guy who exported it in 2006.
Colour code is 322
This is the only photo I can find of Nautic Green on an e30 on the web.

No Dolphin grey ones - suprising as it was so popular for the saloons

Rarer than white/black/lagoon green/red but there's quite a few Malachite Tourings around.

Here's mine in Mugello Rot
Taken in the lake district on a pretty dull day so it's not as vibrant. When the sun shines there's no
colour like it for intensity. In my opinion of course!

That's lovely! Ripe for an engine swap too. Has anyone swapped an M5X into an E30 and kept the aircon?
