Arktisblau Metallic 045 1982 - 1986 - ?

not bad, a nice dark blue, looks like it'd be nice cleaned up.

Little ironic - a google search for the color brings the above car, located at none other than Terry Sayther Auto...Jordan? :)

Henna.

Sorry, no bright reds....just not a fan :( No offense!!

Platanengrün Metallic 188 1984 - 1986 - ?

Not bad, a bit more attractive than Delphin IMO.

Polaris Metallic 060 1982 - 1986 - sexay silver (Bill 84 318's)

Not bad...too bright I think though.

Mauritiusblau metallic. E36 Color I think...

Also another personal favorite...





Nachtblaumetallic. E36 color again. Closest to black I've ever seen for a dark blue color...

Thats a list of the most common and uncommon colors on there, along with other stats of www.e30.de collection of E30's. The second link may help too. And yes, Diamantschwarz is the most common, but...



I think its the best E30 color out there still.

Oh hell yes, looks great on 02's aswell. If I get tired of my henna I'm repainting it polaris.

Mauritiusblau metallic. E36 Color I think...

sexy color, love it.

Cosmos black rocks.

boo. my dad drives an e36 m3 in cosmos. it just looks dirty all the time, like the off-white of blacks.

anyhow, im still a fan of black, it shines so good when clean.

also, henna looks gorgeous clean.

my vote goes for nimbus grey, yes i know it's a VW color. but it still looks the tits.
when i get time i plan on tearing my car down and restoring spraying the entire car nimbus as to a similar spec to Jordans car.

Mauritiusblau metallic. E36 Color I think...

Wow. Thinking it's either that or Lazur. Screw sticking to an early model color. Those two colors are insanely beautiful.

M42Technik, thanks for finding that car, def one of my top 5 e30's, I had seen it before...

PS - that other blue that's close to black - looks black to me :)

zobelbraun metallic....its like a metallic poo brown. Anyone got any pics of this? Its the color of my car but I've got no pics. It sounds like a pile of shit but its actually fucking hot oddly enough, I always get compliments on my cars paint.
