Estoril?

Jesus, god yes that blue one is hot.

They look like Nogaro centers with the light hitting them in a certain way.

I've seen pics of Euro E30 M3's with a bright blue finish similar to Laguna Seca Blue or that bright blue they used to have on some VW's:



It was an OEM BMW color. Anyone know the name? It looked terrific on the E30 M3.

Ah yes, Nogaro Blue. It's a fantastic color.

Another BMW blue is Interlagos Blue, but I don't think it would look too good on an E30.

The Estoril that takes the cake is Mike's friend with his M3:









Definitely one the top 5 best E30 M3's in my book...what color centers are those? Gold? They look like a pale-ish gold?

Both of those cars are INSANELY hot. What color is the other one?

[Emre]

Ah yes, Nogaro Blue. It's a fantastic color.

But Nogaro Blue is a VAG color. The blue I'm thinking of was available as an OEM BMW color back in 1990-1991. I've only ever seen it on an E30 M3.

BTW, here's a pic of Nogaro:



I think it would definitely look hot on a plastic-bumper E30.

Damn, I remember that estoril non-M from E3S. His name was pluckydks I think.

I vote for estoril, I think avus looks great on E30's too though.

Maybe you are thinking of Mauritusblau Metallic?





It only came on late model E30 Cabrio's, that coupe is a repaint.

[robtech]

what about interlagos blue?

[TwoJ's]

I vote for Estoril.
I always liked that color.

Damn, I was looking for something like that. That is pretty much exactly how my car would look. I've even shaved the front roundel. I love it. I thought it was going to be too "loud", but I think it looks really good.

Thanks!

@VacMan - I see you love Autopia too!

Catepillar Yellow or
John Deere Green

the green M3 was mine before it was painted.
was called neptuneturkismetallic.

the Estoril M3 is Euro3´s car- he sells alot of euro parts on here. the centers of his rims are the orig. rim silver, they just look so different because the centers of mine are polished too.

what about alpina blue. - this shade is the later color(from e46era)
my buddies vert.





Avus blue was also really popular over here years ago for e30s.

or mauritius


estori



my old wagon in carbonschwarz



here is my custom mix blue on my truck. If your really nice I can give you the mix of it.





I know how it is trying to decide on a color. I went through a long time of trying to figure out a color for my M3 earlier this year.

[TwoJ's]

Thanks. Carbonschwarz looks really good. So does mauritius. And you're right, it is very hard trying to decide.


And I never looked at an e21 enough to realize the hood was like that.
