What is the 'best' e30 colour?Tried to do a poll, couldnt work it out!
Mine is alpine white, but my favorite - lachs silver. How about you lot???

calypso red

black!

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

Agree Lachs Silver

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

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

Or Macao Blue

Black would be my number 1 choice but currently got Lachs

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

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.

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

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....

Brilliant `Pink` has to be my least favourite

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.

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

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

Got to be Calypso red, Lagoon green or Malachite green

sterling silver

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.

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!!!

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

Laguna Green

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

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

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

It has to be alpine white or dolphin grey

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

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

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

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

diamond schwartz

laguna green especially on cabs

macao blue

malachite green

Neon Blue

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.
