Lazur / Royal / Macao Blues only please though I don't mind seeing some Blue interiors.
Blue Leversz...
Minty Blue Door Cards...
Blue carpet...
Blue Parcel Shelf (Speakers are blue under there...)
Blue Mats...
Blue / Green coolant leak...
And my old Lazer Touring (rotten to the core but my next E30 will be an M5X Lazer Touring or Gaybrio).

My old Mauritius Blue touring
(Not on your list, but the best blue in my opinion)
And one for the lighter blues, here's my Glacier 320.

Lazurblau is a lovely colour. My old 520i touring was this shade and looked purple'ish in certain lights.

Lazer
Royal
Both very nice colours, but having had both side by side, clean Royal is better IMO.

Royal is too blue for me. I've had a Royal Touring too. The Lazer is more shape-shifty and polished sup nicer.
I'm loving those wider BBS - got the same roof bars for mine too lol.

Word of warning - if you commission Pete to do ANYTHING on your car, be prepared for a full 'autopsy' and subsequent dressing down on the incorrect metallic hue and screw angle of any non-OEM hose clips in your engine bay.

The Morris Ital (2.0 SLX iirc

) hoseclips fitted were a true sight to behold , they didn't even match and incredibly, were not fitted with their heads in line !

Pete - you must have some nice BLUE morsels to contribute to this thread?
By the way, I need some minty blue seat backs (mine are 8/10) which I noticed could be found stacked in that Blue Touring you have...
P/X and some cash?

Blue = Good
No chrome, too few doors and no Cosmosblau = Bad
Ahhh, that's better

incorrect placement of roundels is severely wrong,
I think lazer blue is crap, and very council , Royal blue is far better and cirrus is quite good,
Aero silver is the best, a very pale metallic blue not available in the UK ,

Nice - but what's up with the manual window winder filler plug - yeeuk. Fix that quick.
e30topless - The most council colour going are the light silver blues. You only ever see them on the most chavv'ed up cars.

Shame. I've never liked cards like that, looks like the electric window retrofit was half-arsed.

It's far too low for a winder filler. It must be for something else.

Back on topic.
This is truly awesome.
Gold stripes on metallic blue may be my ultimate fave E30 'existence.'

Blue FTW.
Even Doom Blue has it's appeal - looks like Lazer from certain angles tho...

Lovely colour Alpina blue as on the b6...WLN had a C2 tourer in that shade at one time.
That C2 is Royal with natural, one of the best combos IMO, proper 80's BM!
