Favorite E30 colour ?

[Stevin]

So what is ur guys favorite colour from factory on an E30 ?

I've actually got 3.

Polaris Metallic Silver, Nogaro Silver, and Cherry Red.

2nd would be Burgondy

[E30Mark]

that car is gorgeous, is that cherry red?

Over here I think its called Callypso red, unless yours is a special paint, assuming it's a SA built car.

P.s Callypso red is my favourite colour !

[Stevin]

Thats Burgondy that car... Not sure what it's called in the German colours.

Cherry red... thats a red colour that is almost orange it's pretty cool... only our 333i came in it, and a few 323i and 318i 2dr's

[dsio]

Theres a guy near me here with an M3 Evo 2 right hand drive converted, in german chocolate brown. Absolutely brilliant, lots of gloss and clear coat, and the deepest darkest german chocolate, on deep dish black centre BBS rims.

That colour is sex.

[dazleeds]

loks like burgandrot ??

had it on an e21 deep burgandy

[tourer-dan]

wel in my opinion, of the UK colours, brlliant red is the way foward.
I'm just waiting for the right one to come along so I can change mine. Meanwhile I'm stuck with minging alpine white.

[Stevin]

I don't really like the Brilliant red... I think ? There were 2 types of red that our 325iS came out in, and the darker one is so much better looking

[Stevin]

Oh yeah, BTW that car up there is a 325iS with a S50B30 lump in it... and it's tweaked just a little runs mid 12's... which if u take that to the states, with their tracks andwhat not... u would be running low 11's.

[tylerma]

for me it has to be granite silver metallic
like mine

[Hyperion]

I like my Zinnobar red, (all sport cars come in red), i also like silver and Maroon.

[technoviolet]

Dolphin grey or diamond black in a sport,i actually like alpine white on an e30 m3(preferably with warsteiner livery on top)

[Conan]

Dolphin grey or lacth silver like mine. when its polished and sitting under a street light at twilite its pure magic

[Richy325iTouring]

Diamond black

[dsio]

loks like burgandrot ??

had it on an e21 deep burgandy

Is close to that but darker. You know how in the 80s, a popular colour / rim combo for Porsche was the 911 in absolute darkest german chocolate (hence where the name came from), with black center, deep dish FUCHS alloys. It was classic german muscle car look. Dark brown with deep black dishes. Ive always wanted that in a porsche, but seeing it on an M3, it looks even better.

Some colours hide the flared wheel arches of the M3, while the chocolate makes them stand out, and with the black wheels, it just looks bad arsed.

Can't u find a picture of this Chocolate brown ? Never eve nheard of it let alone seen it.

Another colour I really like, but it doesn't come on the E30, I've only ever seen it on the E46, and E39... it's the Green colour, but when the light shines on it, it's a sort of browny colour

[dsio]

It wasnt an M3 colour, Ive got the swatch list here, so it must be a respray. I would do it though ;)

[Lloydie38]

Lachs Silver is the most classic colour paint for the E30 in particular the325isport

For the E30 M3 it has to be the black / gunmetal grey (unsure of exact name) someone will be along in a minute with it...

[tylerma]

are you sure it wasnt macau
as that seems to go different colours by different light
and somethimes that looks like a really nice brown

[Stevin]

Not Nogaro Silver ?

[JoeP]

I must confess to a perverse liking for the dark green, but only on a touring, someone on here has a very nice example.

[Adam318i]

Im gona be biased because i own it, but i think dolphin Grey is the best

Looks nice and mean

[Dominitry]

Diamond black!

[k130]

Easy, Got to be Henna Red!!!

[Lloydie38]

The best colour is a sort of bluey /greenie / brown and it goes reddie orange in a certain light but then again what the f*** do I know as I'm colour blind

[SCOTT325SE]

if its a mtech car then i like it in diamond black, but if its non-mtech, then i prefer dolphin grey. i know its what i own/owned, but of all the cars i looked at and have seen, im still drawn to dolphin and diamon schwartz!

[Dan318-is]

diamond schwartz or that dolphin grey colour anyday

also iv seen a hartge in green an it was lovely

[Jhonno]

Lachs silver or Calypso Red

[Jhonno]

or Macou (sp!! how the feck do you spell it ) Blue

[SCOTT325SE]

macau

[Jhonno]

thats the kiddy - cheers Scott

[swindy]

Malacite Green first, second Diamond Black!!!!

Mines Both!!!!

[SCOTT325SE]

n.p's mate!

[jmc330i]

A little bit biased, but brilliant red for me. Dolphin grey if its non Mtech.

Although when I get mine resprayed I was going to keep it brilliant red, I may be swayed by this picture or Kelsons Macao Blue B6.....

MACAU BLUE,MY OWN CAR.
LACHS SILVER
