I quite liked the black the guy used on the e30 cover car for last months Performance BMW magazine... iirc it's a merc colour?

Diamantschwarz (Metallic Black) is a good colour for an e30, makes the BBS look nice.

[sideshowbob]

Quite agree, in fact it is the only black for an e30. In some light situations it has an almost purple hue. The only down side is shows every dent, scratch or bit of dirt. But when clean and polished it is a great colour.

[Ollie_bwoii]

Post up some pics of your car as it is atm?

[hammoj28]

Only one black for an E30 in my opinion, Diamantschwarz. It just looks so "right". Cant beat it and when its all polished up and sitting in the sun it has gorgeous purpley/greeney colours running through it.

I don't like DS and my car is that colour! It's too "charcoally" not a strong black and certainly not inherrently "flip"

Some of the newer BMW's have Blacks with hints of blue in. That would look good.

[beamer_325i]

Painted my E30 sport DS but i used a dark shade to make it a stronger black.

[pukar]

charcoal black i think was the e46 colour and was a bit blue with reflections........

DS is a bit "grey"...if it was DS originally, then stick with it, if not, the worlds your oyster

have a look at black sapphire metallic

+1..my car is diamond swartz but i don't think its such a strong black either.

this pic makes me want to go gloss black all the way

[CaesarBob]

The are a few options from the current Individual range:

Ruby Black Metallic (Ruby tint)
Azurite Black Metallic (Blue tint)
Diopside Black Metallic (Green tint)

Ruby would be my choice.

[Falkster]

Another vote for gloss, I've had DS and always wanted gloss, my mate had an SE at the same time as I had mine, his always looked better no matter how much I polished it.

[Ace 325i]

Ruby Black Metallic (Ruby tint)
Ruby would be my choice.

on an E30..looks

[andrew320i]

Gloss black!!! Don't really like met black

[leeparkes]

Spooks e30 is a 'different' black, he's got a thread on here somewhere

[spook]

Its almost Ruby Black, Its Diamond Swartz with a hint of Blue

Looks cool with the sun shining on it.

Porsche did a black in the 90's too, which had a silver/gold tinge to it, but when standing straight on it looked BLACK , at angles with light it turned into a deep brown.

We had a black new MINI with a bluey tint to it in some lights, think it was called Astro Black - looked very smart.

Saying that, my Mum's Mini is Cosmos black and that is a lovely colour.

btw diamond black doesn't look that bad when scrubbed up well!

[Simon13]

Fresh diamond from the spray gun is pretty dam good. Everyone is used to looking and 20 year old f**ked paint hence the dullman tag

[markus_74]

My first choice is

RUBY BLACK S23

AZURITE BLACK S34
