missing color

[div]

hi all,

i am checking out a '92 325i convertible with the intent to purchase, but it is in a color that is not listed in the overview of colors on this forum; 668 Schwarz II. BMW spec-overview also states this color as the original color in which it was delivered. Anybody any idea why it's not listed here and very hard to find information on online?

thanks

as the car is a late one it 'could' have been specified schwarts 2 as it was used on the e36 and others. If it has a lot of extras/individual spec it could be the customer requested the color or they had stopped using the previous version. here is a few links:

http://www.bmwccbc.org/resources/farben.html very bottom of the page shows it is non-metallic

http://www.bmwinfo.com/25330.html used on the e34 so was around at the time, if you click on index you can see all other models. e36 used from 1993 on

http://www.bmwdecoder.com/decode/ac79156 a 1990 M3 with schwarts 2 although the list in the link above does not list it.

not sure if that helps.
One final link to a discussion about trying to match the color

thank you very much, that is very helpful! The car is a Design Edition and does have all kinds of extra's (m suspension, limited slip differential among others) but is also equiped with option code 940 (Special Request Equipment). Could that be the code used for a 'custom' color? I have also been able to find photo's 2 more e30 'verts (both also from '92) with the same color online.

I did end up buying the car yesterday, I would post some pics but I can't seem to figure out how to attach a photo to the post.. Any tips?
