Hey guys, im a massive fan of techno violet. I used to own an E36 m3 in one a few years ago, and miss it dearly.

Always wanted to have an E30 painted in techno, so was just searching the net for others that may have.

Just want to share the pics i found with you guys.


The net said this is techno violet, but dont think it is

The touring looks a little light, sort of like daytona violet, but still looks awesome

Might be wrong, but isn't that touring one of a limited edition of e30's they did towards the end of production?

nope, BMW released a design touring in techno violet but it never hit the UK ,

it's a nice colour but very very sad to keep clean and every mark no matter how small shows up badly ,

if you visit Gibralter anytime soon there's one in a carpark for sale at £400 it's been there over a year as far as i know ,

there was a minter in marbella for sale at 750 euro's last time i was there, at least they won't have rust !

IMO it's a grubby colour similar to laser blue, and you know how hard it is to make that look clean !

incidentally there's another that parks by the border near la linea ! , good to hear NWT is still chewing tarmac :D
