        Made my morning, even with all the bfest pics going around. Nice to see that you're continuing to knot enthusiast panties with the color choice, not just the m-tech molestation :D

                Phoenix Yellow?

                If it is, BARF, I hate that color....

                  No, I think it's pheonix yellow. I could be wrong.

                    I think it is too, The lighting is poor in the garage. E30s can look tits this color.

                      Wow, that looks WAY better on an e30 than an e46. Still not my favorite, but dam.

                        nice work, but I'm gonna have to call that color 'baby shit green'.

                          It's not a BMW color. It was custom mixed. It's more green than yellow, but there is a lot of gold in it.

                          I hate yellow cars.

                          I wanted "puke green".

                          It looks so good in person.
