    color choice???

    Hi All,
    I need help picking a color for my e30 m3 to be painted. The car is going to have an s38 swap done and I really wanted to use a stock BMW color but it can be from any year BMW. I have a hard time visualizing what it will look like so could someone please photoshop this pic with any color you like to give me some ideas? I really would like to see colors that you wouldn't normally see on an e30 m3 ex.) older 5 seres & 7 series, calypso red, basically anything you want to photoshop on there is cool.



    Thanks,
    Ryan

              I vote boston, or byzanz. Mostly boston.

              "Having won more road races than any other model in history, the E30 M3 is considered by many to be the world's most successful road race car." - Simply put, E30s kick ass.

                    impressive photoshops.

                    I say byzanz for the sake of it being dead sexy and its rarer than rare

                      Byzanz or Calypso. Changing the wheels will help a bit also on each color.

                              So I got photoshop elements 5.0 for christmas and I have been playing around with it. I decided to try some weird outrageous colors with it here is one I came up with! Let me know what you think, I was kind of going for that lamborghini orange with black BBS RGR's
