View Full Version : Is this a BMW Blue? TerryY 11-09-2003, 12:10 PM Euro 850CSi Individual I believe. TerryY 11-09-2003, 12:10 PM The interior EMAXX 11-09-2003, 12:27 PM Would you happen to have any better pics? It looks almost like a green where the sun is shining on it, and then in some areas, its a really dark blue. Oxcart 1 11-09-2003, 12:33 PM well it has blue interior... Gene V 11-09-2003, 12:34 PM exterior looks like Estoril blue... TerryY 11-09-2003, 12:48 PM Rear- different sun angle TerryY 11-09-2003, 12:49 PM different angle on front ClintonM3 11-09-2003, 01:05 PM Not estoril, more like Avus blue to me. on a friday 11-09-2003, 01:22 PM yeah, looks like avus EMAXX 11-09-2003, 03:51 PM I'm going with Avus on that on too. ESMcBlurM3 11-09-2003, 07:33 PM Badass. WOW! Got link? Anoter vote for Avus, as well. Eric uberM5 11-09-2003, 07:39 PM avus TerryY 11-09-2003, 08:48 PM It was for sale in Germany a few months ago when I was exploring importing an 850CSI. I was posting pictures in the 8 forum to keep from fading out from boredom and posted pictures of this one among the 8 Fest pictures I had. Someone asked what color it was and I didn't know. So I asked--Thanks to all who answered. Daved 11-09-2003, 09:47 PM Avus, 99% sure. DasAutokerl 11-09-2003, 11:02 PM *Droolz* That's one sexy beast of an 8 series. :boink russiamutha 11-09-2003, 11:21 PM M8:evil2 :love1 ImageDynamicsM3 11-10-2003, 12:00 AM im going with avus. bellavus 11-10-2003, 12:40 AM yeah i think it's avus also...although in the first pics it looks a little bright, but the second pics clarify shragon 11-10-2003, 12:52 AM yep, along with everybody else, it looks avus blau to me. TerryY 11-10-2003, 01:57 AM I don't believe that Avus was one of the "Official" 8 colors so that is why it is an Individual with the color coded interior--like the Dakar I posted in the 8 Forum. TerryY 11-10-2003, 01:59 AM oops forgot a picture! hakjai 11-10-2003, 02:52 AM oooh wow avus blue, i wish they made that color for e46's bimmer95 11-10-2003, 04:20 PM There's a guy here in central Ohio that has an Avus 850Csi, very nice, but the owner... not so friendly :az: SilverBeam 11-10-2003, 06:03 PM hmmm that car could use a MAJOR detail... I wonder if they would fly me over to give that amazing Avus exterior the love and care she needs.... then I'd kill the owners as they slept and take the car for myself. :evil2 saj328 11-10-2003, 09:14 PM Looks like AVUS, but it could also be Mauritius Blue. tarbaby 11-10-2003, 09:20 PM Originally posted by saj328 Looks like AVUS, but it could also be Mauritius Blue. .....but I'm pretty sure it's Avus..... TerryY 11-10-2003, 09:56 PM The car had some issues-besides the nicks and scratches. The windows and cluster were electrically dead. All of the fuses were good and the local shop/dealer had no clue where to go next. The wheels had deep stains. No records at all. The good point. The new BMW supplied engine had 8000k on it after a dealer screwed up a head gasket job. New clutch then too. bimmer95 11-10-2003, 10:00 PM Originally posted by TerryY The new BMW supplied engine had 8000k on it 8 million miles!?! :eek: :D yotone 11-10-2003, 10:08 PM i just pooped in my pants i would chop off my pinky for that car. how much would it of taken u to import that car here? TerryY 11-10-2003, 10:30 PM 8000 Kilometers Transport and Federalizing would have run about $15,000 US. The only thing that stopped me was that Momma said I would have to sell this first 'cuz I couldn't have 2 !! yotone 11-10-2003, 10:31 PM i woulda started crying and jump up and down n say." Mommy please!!!!" TerryY 11-10-2003, 10:42 PM Tried that--didn't work!! Even offered to sell her 7 instead so she could have her own 8--no go:( yotone 11-10-2003, 10:49 PM yah real nice of u to offer to sell her car so u can ultimately drive it. TerryY 11-10-2003, 11:22 PM At the time I was thinking about importing one or more to sell but the US prices for 850CSi's were falling as fast as the dollar was getting weaker. WE decided to wait it out instead of buying then. The book prices seemed to be manipulated at the time. 850's were falling fast in the books but 840 prices were stable. Didn't make sense. Still doesn't but 850's are cheap right now. sirtiger 11-11-2003, 10:37 AM wow.. :love1 :love1 TerryY 11-11-2003, 10:57 AM Definitely not Concours. I have a few detail pictures that I haven't posted but I suppose I will. This car has cranked up more interest than the string of pictures I put up in the 8 forum! Or in this one that got towed! http://www.bimmerforums.com/forum/showthread.php?s=&threadid=147235 tybmw 11-11-2003, 02:00 PM looks like a mix between estoril and avus. SilverBeam 11-11-2003, 05:34 PM Originally posted by saj328 Looks like AVUS, but it could also be Mauritius Blue. its NOT mauritius. THIS is mauritius: http://www.bimmer.info/bmw/TC535i/kimblur.jpg it looks estoril in some lights, but for the most part it looks very avus. TerryY 11-12-2003, 12:32 AM It is an Individual car so it may not be a standard bmw color. The dealer in Germany only said "It is Blue" It shows at least 3 different colors in this one! TerryY 11-15-2003, 01:18 AM Oh well might as well bump this one. It's the weekend again! TerryY 05-10-2004, 09:53 PM Just bumping some picture threads back into the current thread window RRdawho? 05-12-2004, 06:25 AM Im shitting my pants every time I even think about that car, damn it smells in here now... |
