Mauritius Blue is my favourite (I wonder why!). Mind you, a white 325i Sport TechII with black leather would give me the horn :mad:

Brilliant red for a Sport or iS.
Any dark metallic for a Touring.
White on a 2- or 4-door.
Convertible..... Not sure.
I hate grey/silver colours on any car. :(
This is why I no longer drive an E30......

Brilliant Red of course ;)

But Green E30s are nice, i.e. Lagoon or Malachite (if that's the olive drab one)
