    rare factory E30 colors

    Has anyone figured out production figures for each factory color? I'm curious to see some numbers. Also, are there colors that were only released outside of the US?

    I'm curious about this too. My car is Balticblau and I've only seen one other on the boards (local too, figures haha). I'd love to see a list if one is out there, it'd be pretty sweet to have two rare colored cars (my DD is one of ~900). :)

      There are MANY colors on the E30 the US never got.

        Bronzit is probably one of the more rare colors out there.

            It happens, everyone with a bronzit knows how rare it is, thus they are here.

                Yup. They are generally worth 25-40% more than comprable non-bronzit e30s.

                  My car is Achatgrun-Metallic, I've only ever seen one before, and it's here in AUS. Absolutely amazing colour, like most, you have to see it in person to really apreciate it.

                  The whole thing was started because everyone was sick of seeing bronzit's all over the board. It's all a big joke but it's basically a jealousy thing. Bronzit-beige metallic, is an extremely rare colour for an e30 BMW. thats why every bronzit owner is on this forum, to flaunt there shit. I've NEVER seen one in person, and neither have most people...

                  I wish I had a bronzit...

                          I just picked up my first bronzit, I was lucky I got it for the price I paid.

                          Erik... how many have you had? You should have kept one man. Hopefully you can find another one before they are so rare that you can't.

                            I should have my 318i repainted in Taiga
                            Not that I care, of course.

                              Ive had 3 of them... never did like the colors of them, there are a fair amount here in MN for sale. Its funny cause no one can seem to find a e30 in MN but me.
