Anyone ever heard of this colour on an E30?
Done a google search on production numbers/dates etc but didnt get far.
Is it rare?

I thought it looks similar to Diamond Shwartz but non metallic?

[maxfield]

i like it.

Used to look after an early j plate 318 e36 in vulcan grey (theres a vulcan e36 in the breakers as I speak)

It was rare on the e36 and e34 but although I knew it was available on an e30 I've never seen one. I've read it was available from the 91 model year on. So this must be a late one surely? It's a solid colour grey with (IMO) a slightly brownish tinge.

Thanks Rich,top colour eh
Looking forward to doing it to be honest although going to be hard work getting in done in 3 weeks!
Think ill leave the engine swap to the end though just incase i need to use it.
Bryan who im getting it off seems a nice guy though.Straight talking and has told me all the faults with it,mostly which are very petty.
Done me a top deal on it too

[eko]

Anyone got any pics of other E30`s in this colour then?
Ive searched and cant find any

[iDreamBeemer]

come on Tony....you know "there can be only one...."




well it might be true....it may well be the only e30 left in that colour, at least in the enthusiast circles.

How cool would that be
Doubt it though,there has to be others?

Right This colour was used on the E30 as a test bed for it to be released on the E36.

As far as I am aware there was approx 50 UK cars with this colour. Most of which

were test mules.
