    help me pick between these 2 colors

    I think i am getting a repaint, 3 colors have caught my eye. Not sure if you can just get these colors whipped up but here they are, macao blue, nagaro silver or 087 Graphite metallic. I think these are the best 3 colors out there, what do you think? I have an 84 318i, wish it was M3 lol.
    heres the 3 colors


    MACAO



    NAGARO



    GRAPHITE


    Here are some pics of the car and the bodykit. Should i swap it to plastic bumpers from the 89 325i or keep the bodykit? if i am swapping to plastics the kit is up for grabs. The fitment issues bug me big time and i dont have the skills to fix them. Also keep your suggestions on paint color coming please.

      I think Macao is something only a bmw dude would appreciate/understand.
      Nagaro will get you hunnies/boost cool points.

        On an 84 318 I would focus on other things first. Oh and Phoenix Yellow.

            That being said, I don't think anyone should be reasoning what color to paint their e30 with women in mind unless your vlad lol.

                  Pooh-bear fucks bitches and gets money like you don't even know.



                  What have they done to poor pooh-bear

                  Oh and... I don't think you can go wrong with either color, I think some eni-meani-miney-moe will solve this problem for you.

                    Shoulda made a poll, and if I were you I would just get it resprayed whatever color it is now. But out of those two I would do Macao.

                      I'm thinking of doing Graphit on my Japanese 318, soon to be 327i. It's diamantschwarz right now, but I wanted something different. It seems not many people have Graphit as it was an early color for the E30 and I believe only 1 year. Going to strip the car and give it a good polish/wax to see how bad the paint currently is before deciding, but I'm pretty sure I'll end up painting it.

                        Macao, then Nagaro, then Graphite.

                        Post pics of said '84 318i?

                          A full color change is a lot of work. Why not respray it the same color it is now?
