Ive been wondering what is everyones favorite E30 colour?.
Do you own an E30 in your favorite colour?.
Would you consider re-spraying your car in that colour?.
And did you look for a car in your favorite colour?.

These seem to be the more popular/common colours?!?

If other tell me!!!

Cheers Gareth.

What's with all this Calypso Red wrongness. :twisted:

Is Island Green the same/similar to Lagoon Green? Hear of that one before. Usually on late reg 316i/318i Tourings.

I'd never seen it before either. Mine's a 1990 316i Auto 2door saloon. The elderly lady who owned it before me had ordered a few optional extras including the paint, auto gearbox, :roll: electric sunroof, front fogs, OE alarm, electric aerial and for some reason the small lip rear spoiler. Unfortunately, she didn't stretch to alloys. Probably just as well with the state I found the wheel trims in.

I'd been looking for a low mileage, single owner E30 just for getting to work for some time when I spotted it on Autotrader in late Nov 04. It was advertised at Ԛ£1200ono. I wasn't keen on the auto box but with only 72k miles and in good condition I snapped it up for a grand. The servicing was a bit patchy but it came with all the old MOTs.

I'll try and get a couple of decent photos posted over the weekend to show the colour but in the meantime it's on that frapr map thingy.

My first E30 was bahama-beige metallic - I don't think I've ever seen another one! I'd go for malachite green as it's the colour of my 325i
