Not an E30 but... what would you think of a Calypso 2002?

[equate975]

no, best thing you can do. 2002 + m30 + turbo = FTW

[Justin B]

M30.. lol. The M20 is already snug and heavy enough as it is :) Stroke it!

02maniac - I don't know exactly what color that is, but its a metallic red and looks REALLY nice. Like candy apple red, I think he mentioned on his site somewhere the color, but maybe not too. Its not burgundy in some light or anything like calypso is, but they seem to be almost pretty close.
Sidenote - I think I got my NOS headlight buckets and lights :) Scored them for relatively cheap considering new they're 180 a side for just a bucket. Almost as bad as the grilles! I missed the fedex guy, so I'm going to go pick up whatever the box is here in a little bit.

yeah go with white if you want it to look like you just gave up

laguna seca-totally overrated color

inka-been done to death

I think calypso or a nice dark red would look great

[Justin B]

Pretty much what I was thinking :) lol. Nice cliffnotes of my brain.

I think schwartz is one of the worst colors for a 2002. the main appeal to me are its classic looks - which schwartz ruins...

He was speaking about Diamantschwarz, a very dark grey, which looks awesome, is a metallic color, and matches carbon fiber very well, if he were to go that route:



That is the color in light, in darker shades it is almost anthracite so to speak...

Here is a good idea of how Calpyso looks too:

[blunttech]

if done right any color will look great. its all about details. i contemplated "evergreen" before i painted mine colorado. i doubt youll like evergreen because not many do but i think its period looking and certainly different. youd be the only one with it. evergreen is a rare mcoupe color. but calypso will look great too

[DarkWing6]

do inka or colorado.

Colorado FTW!!! My buddies dad has a sweet 72 2002tii that's Colorado. Uber Hot!


On a more on topic note. You could do something like Avus or another darker blue. I forget what the other navyish blue BMW did was, but it was nice too.

[Jand3rson]

Calypso is seriously fucking hot, on any BMW.

[JasonC]

Do it in Calypso, that color is vevy good looking!!!

[backtrail69]

I am thinking about painting mine. Spirit R RX-7 Silver or mabey Avus. It is currently a custom blue also.

I'm a fan of Malaga

[ldsbeaker]

I love the Inka. However, Blue has ALWAYS been my favorite.

[CleanAzzE30z]

Fjord Blue on a deuce or a 3.0 is one of my top 2 favorite BMW colors.

inka. curtis's car that was posted earlier in here is amazing. i still havent gotten a ride in it since he turbo'd it, but when it just had the m20 in it it was a very fun car. i have seen that car do some things that you wouldn't believe.

[bmwm3n528]

I know about that turbo M20 2002 that was in performance BMW. I havent met him personally yet but Ive talked to him for years, since he was originally putting the stock M20 in.

Yeah, I've seen this car in flesh. Total knockout.
