    E34 going to body shop for restoration.. color choices?



    Getting towed yesterday ^

    Right now the car is 100% mechanically, I replaced everything that you can think off.

    Now I'm scheduled to do a full body restoration so I need to figure out what color I should go with (that matches my wheels).

    My choices at the moment are satin black or something like this:



    (Does anybody know proper name for this color code?)

    I definitely do not want a 'stock' color, so if you have any ideas please throw them around.

    Avus blue looks good too.

          All you ever do is whine about your cars.

          OP - the darker greens always look great on E34s. Otherwise, any black works too.

            Thats definitely not diamantschawrz, its some sort of brown. If I was going to do a legit re-spray on my m5 I would do Daytona violet or techno violet

                  How about Aubergine? Don't see that one too often and it's pretty awesome in person.

                    I think oxford grun is dope or any darker shade of blue from BMW

                        My friend used to own that exact car, it's not aubergine. It's Fjord Grey.

                            Is that new M4 color? Don't know how E34 will look in it, might be a risky choice :(

                            I keep looking at Avus Blue/Estroril E34s and they look stunning... ;D
