    Color Change Advice : Silver to ……

    Delphin? Steel Grey?

    Who’s done a color change? What was your experience?

    I was already planning on pulling the motor to have the bay painted, and I can disassemble enough of the interior to make the sills available.

    The car has already been auto-to-manual-swapped, so I’m not terribly concerned about holding on to some distant memory of ‘that’s not the way it came from the factory’ or concerned for resale value. I would like to keep it within the ‘silver’ family however, and, an OEM BMW color.

    I’d think it’d look pretty sharp with the black interior, and Cardinal seats I should have installed in the near future.

    TIA

      Man, with a cardinal interior i'd stay silver, or steel grey would definitely work too. There have been 2 steel grey ones on ebay with cardinal interiors, sooooo hot.

              I would go silver or delphin grey or pink j/k. I think silver would look the best personally but I have always been a silver or black freak

                Depends if your going to paint the whole car inside and out ( exterior, jambs, and engine bay). If thats the case go white. Mine is red but I think white e30's with black wheels are the poop.
