I actually like Bronzit. It's very low-key.
I'm thinking of a color change myself because I'm not a fan of red cars and mine is faded/peeling. I really want to do white, but I've only seen one or two white E30's that I liked enough to say they wouldn't look better in another color.
The E30 is by far the WEIRDEST car for paint colors, ever.
Any other car:
1. White
2. Silver (tie)
2. Grey (tie)
cutoff line for colors I would want to own.
4. All other colors
5. Black
6. Red
7. Yellow
But on E30s:
1. Black
2. Grey
3. Red
4. Silver
5. Bronze
cutoff line for colors I would want to own.
6. Any other color
7. White
8. Yellow
These are my opinions, of course, but as someone who has worked closely with the paint industry I'm astonished by how differently I feel about the colors on the E30. White has always been my favorite car color, but I have a tough time with it on the E30 and dammit it is PAINFUL!
If I had Bronzit, I'd rock it, because despite where it is on the list, it looks leagues above 6-8 to me.
Good luck to you, sir.Originally posted by FunfGanMy car is so racecar it makes peoples head's hurt. Literally.Originally posted by lamboThis is r3v, your logic is useless. We went race-prepped, factory-built, street cars for the price of a loaf of bread.

That's imola, I hope he doesn't mind me sharing the link. I think that if you're building an average nice e30, go Imola, it looks great on anything (the link is definitely better than average-nice). I think that interlagos is too modern for an OEM+ e30/anything that isn't a show car.The first car I ever rode in was an e30

I can get behind this 100%.
For a more "Factory" look, he could go E60 M5 Bronze, but it would be biting this guy's E21.
