Do something different if your gonna spend all that money for a colour change.. no point going back to a factory colours....
macau blue.. is the purply one
make your own..
people have done blue to death .. try mix up a cool funky tint of blue...!

I wonder how long it will take people to notice this...
Not many Estoril blue E30's out there. That would be different to most on the road at the moment.

i dont advise custom colours, try match it up if you hace a scrape!
the best thing to do is find a colour you like on any model, the find out what colour it is, theh find the colour code, have any paint supplier make it up and off you go.
this site is quite good to find the colour name/code
http://www.glasurit.com/COLOR/CCC-Onlin ... language=8
click BMW, 3 series, year (eg -1990) then application all, colour all and start, you will get all the colour offered by BMW at that time for that car. use this if you find a colour you like on say a mercedes.
