    Just to make your decision more complicated. I just passed by a Volvo 200 series wagon that I thought look really good. I believe it was either their light or mid blue.

              You know where I stand buddy. I’m debating going with Nardo on my E46. Another option, but have you looked at Porsche Classic Grey? It’s similar to Nardo.

                I think the PCG is a little lighter then Nardo. I prefer the Nardo. I just don't know if I have the balls to go "colorless". lol This Meissenblau paint card I have is pretty nice as well.

                    I really like that first blue the most.

                    Light blue is a nice color on E30s. I mean they did come with Gletscher and Cirrus from the factory.

                      Are you referring to my original post #1?

                        I'm a big fan of Cirrus (I have it on my car), but it's a metallic.


                        I'm more of a dark blue kind of man. Here are a couple of shots of one of our Ginetta G4s in VW Dunkelblau:

                            love atlantic blue, glacier gruen looks beautiful when its been freshly painted.. Both would look classy on an E30 and era correct

                              IIRC Volvo had a similar color for it's S60R/V70R models. It was uber rare, but very nice
                              If it's got tits or tires, it's gonna cost ya!
