[Rosc0PColtrane]

[snoops]

most people will say the rare colours such as granite silver etc but id go for black or macau blue

[BIGJO]

Agree Lachs Silver

[boxclever1753]

got to be polaris silver!! with lachs coming a close second....

[Jay07]

Mines Lach silver...my car isnt the best example but when done properly

[BIGJO]

Or Macao Blue

[eko]

Black would be my number 1 choice but currently got Lachs

[e30Alex]

(can somone who understands the forum do a poll please???)

[JohnnyThunders]

I like different colours on different cars so, Ill go for silver (lachs?) on M3s, delphin grey on 325i, red on tourers and 318is and of course alpine white on shitty 4 door 320 i se's.

(can somone who understands the forum do a poll please???)

Nah ye dont need a poll, this way you can get a feel for what everyone likes and they can comment individually.

[e30Alex]

fair enuf, i think my fave is dolphin grey (first fast e30 i went in when i was 14 - hooked ever since), but maybe lachs silver. I agree that helrot red on 318is and touring is perfect, i sell paint where i work and the most common we sell is alpine white. dunno why tho....

[eko]

Brilliant `Pink` has to be my least favourite

[B7]

I think Alpine White suits the e30 (not because I got one) especially the sports.

Lachs looks great on any e30 as does any of the slivers and Greys. I love tourers in silver.

Calypso red on a cabrio or 2 door looks nice as well.

Royal Blue suits a 2 door and I'm quite fond of Cirrus (the light blue from about 89-91).

But my all time fave?????????? Mauritious Blue on a motorsport cabrio with Lotus white leather. Now wheres the Kleenex?

Not a fan of black or the solid reds even on sports.

[gcorky]

like most of the metalics to be honest.....

lachs looks great,i have malachite at the mo,had a granite and that looked ok.

[Gortour]

Got to be Calypso red, Lagoon green or Malachite green

[e30bmlover]

sterling silver

[munky30]

Diamantschwartz.

Or cosmos black but I dont think thats an e30 colour.

Obviously, the non bmw colour that will look best on any e30 (or any car for that matter) is matt black.

[old_skool]

Diamantschwartz and lachs silver are my joint favourite.

After that Royal Blue is pretty awesome. I have to say that Malachite is growing on me too.

Arrrghhh too much choice. Have one of each!!!

[beardymat]

hmm which to choose

kinda like brown, or maybe a nice beige with a brown interior

who am i kiddin, it has to be lachs for me although i would be tempted to trade for a granite silver.

calypso is kinda cool too when excecuted properly.

saw a vulcan grey one the other night which might sound a bit dull but with the right accessorys could look proper euro

[grantfk10]

Laguna Green

[pnd]

malachite green, subtle, understated and classy like an e30.

[russ325i]

Definitely vulcan grey - a friend of mine has a vulcan grey 2dr with mims and when polished it looks spot on.

[tailoutcharlie]

I think Alpine White suits the e30

good chap.

me alpine white or black


black and white go with every other colour so no need to go tinting lights etc

[dimebag_from_hell]

It has to be alpine white or dolphin grey

[gra325i]

alpine white 2, lazeur blue and laguna green, in that order, are my favourites

[godstar]

brilliant reds my fav,just looks so sexy when all clean and stands out.

[tristan325]

Dolphin grey. It has a lovely greenish tinge in certain light.

[Gortour]

brilliant reds my fav,just looks so sexy when all clean and stands out.

Looks great WHEN clean and polished...
...but fades like a b*stard...
Looks horrible when it's all pinky, faded and patchy...

[Rosc0PColtrane]

diamond schwartz

[essexboy]

laguna green especially on cabs

macao blue

malachite green

[Eddie25]

Neon Blue

[motorsport]

Mauritius blue is one of mine but i still think white on a really clean sport looks the biz.
I still have a soft spot for brilliant red on a sport too, only when the spoiler and bonnet haven't turned pink.

1. Alpine white (only on a sport tech 2)
2. Mauritius Blue (on a cab - biased i know)
3. Brilliant red (again only on a sport tech 2)

For me its Royal blue (metallic) with beige or creme leather. Not just because i've got one but i just love the way the blue almost turns to mauve in certain light.
