[BATTS91]

as above really what colour is this e30 and is it common to find a touring in this colour ?

this pic has been here before lovely girl :p

[walrus1968]

looks like royal blue i think...but im no expert

[BATTS91]

i think it could be ive see a lazer blue but doesnt look as deep of a shade as this i think its te nuts of a colour quite possible that id buy a touring in this colour

[Rtaylor2208]

I'd go with royal blue as well, it's a bit hard to tell in the pic though. Royal blue has an almost purple pearlescent look in the sunshine but in the shade looks pretty much like laser blue.

[BATTS91]

your explanation on royal blue sounds great , in the sun it will gleam thats what this pic looks like compared to a pic of a lazer blue ive seen , do tourings come in royal aswell as coupe qhen the time comes for a second e30 i think this is the colour to be ive not seen many personally

[THEHOOD]

Tourings definitely come in Royal metalic blue, got one sitting in my garage, very nice colour

[adit]

lol..so your sure then

as for the colour....on closer inspection i think shes a brunette...canat quite see past her shorts but defo not a natural blonde

how about Mauritius Blue?

Yep. Depends what year the car is. Mauritius arrived in 1991 on the late cars with plastic bumpers and big rear lights.

do i detect this as "chomie" secret code for "i dont like facelift E30's as they are made of plastic" lol

is there a e30 in the picture?????

[BATTS91]

found some more pics ???? 2nd pic look tits apart frm wheels , anyone gt a defo on colour ??

[matt86]

it could be mauritius met blue as adit said, but its hard to tell as its in the shade in the pictures and the 3 blues look almost the same if there not in sunlight, well in photos anyway.

I think its more likely royal as deeper and a more plain blue, mine has specks in due to being metallic.

I would say royal, but wouldn't like to put money on it, plus I'm new here, so would probably put more faith in one of the guys above

[matt86]

just looked at my sig pic, then the photo you have put up and I'm fairly sure they look different, so I would say royal after looking at the zone wiki colours, is hard to tell with it being in the shade and the reflections on car though.

maybe get some people on here to send you a photo of each type of blue of there actual car and compare them, or alternatively have a look at the next e30 show if you plan to go to any.

good luck finding out.

[BATTS91]

thankyou sir narrows the search for the next e30 abot more, personally shiny how they are in the pics they look like sex haha, now just to find a clean shell bugger the engine

[BATTS91]

looking on a google a mauritus and royal id say mauritus ??

[matt86]

actually the parts of mine that are in the shade do look very similar after closer examination. I love the colour of mine which is mauritius, love e30's in blue.

Where are you located, was thinking I could show you mine, but you're probably in scotland or cornwall or something.lol

its pretty much impossible to tell on photos.

[matt86]

Just been looking at colour codes on the zone wiki, it could well be mauritius to be honest, I thought the atlantis blue, looked very similar too, have you looked at this yet?

To know for sure you will have to see the cars in the flesh though, either other zoners or some at shows etc and look under the bonnet on the suspension mount tower to see what the colour says.

Cheers and good luck with this.lol

Heres a link to my photo thread, theres so many photos on here you should get a good idea.lol. There's 3 pages of photos.lol

See what you think?

[beemerbird]

My bet is on Royal Blue. My car is that colour and looks the same shade. There's more red in Mauritius.

[assassin]

is there a e30 in the picture?????

Strawberry pink

[BATTS91]
