It's White at the moment
I don't know it's a good colour choice but I'm thinking of mauritious blue

Or even avus blue of the newer e36 models

Personally I would only change the colour if it was going to be a FULL respray, engine bay etc..

Keep it white

Hi Mate im doing the same I just bought a e30 325 conv needs a respray currently atlantic blue with the mtec 1 kit. I am thinking or either geting the e46 style kit or the mtec 2 kit and getting it sprayed in orient blue with some shiny silver flakes. but your right man its hard choosing a colour so peoples opinions needed. Im aso getting the leathers retrimmed but that colour depends on thebody work colour. If thre is any one ot there with blue convertibles please send pics with interior

Thanks and good luck mate

i would stick with an E30 colour, or go totally crazy and have Rage Candy apple red with a metal flake lacquer or something like that and a cream leather interior
