Confusion bout E30 M3's and what ones are what colour??

[hammoj28]

Right, an article in Total BMW mag confused me a bit.

I was always under the impression that Cecotto's were macau blue. But they say otherwise. And some evo 2's were macau blue, dunno if thats right?

A guy wrote in asking if they could identify his car saying he thought it was either an evo2 or a cecotto. Its an M3 in macau blue with black wheel centres and silver leather interior.

They said that it was just a normal M3 in a rare colour as Cecotto's only came in Nogaro silver and the ravaglia cars were Misano Red.

eh? Im confused now. What.

Sorry if im being stupid.

Hmm, so they were wrong in saying cecottos only came in misano and nogaro. I was sure they came in macau blue. Cheers mate. that answers my question. Love macau blue so much aswel.

The latest Total BMW tries to correct the previous month's completely duff information (see letters section).
You'll find the majority of Cecottos and Evo IIs to be Macau Blue. Rather fewer Misano red and Nogaro Silver.
Furthermore not all Ravaglias were Misano red. There was at least one Nogaro silver Ravaglia around despite the Rees BMW book saying all were Misano. Gets confusing doesn't it?
