You mention the different shades of colours, that's why I always advise people to ask at their dealers when they're asking what colour their own car is, BMW colours would occasionally change shades, this is what the second number means i.e. Brill red 308/01

There was a guy asking about Daytona Violet a while back on the BMWCC forum, said he'd seen 3 touring's in this colour when he was in Germany, and according to the above list, it was available on tourings for a year only.Simon13 wrote:daytona violet is an e36 M3 colour!

Boston Green was available on late touring's also, a friend has one on an L plate in this very colour.
