    What's your dream E30 paint color?

    If you were to pick any paint color for your E30, what would it be?

    Any paint color, doesn't have to be BMW specific.... what would you do? What really makes the E30 look it's best?

    Provide pics if you can... on your e30 or otherwise...

    Not too original, but Black...no chrome or anything else..Mine is a Bronzit..and I like the color...but will probably end up black in the end.

    I'm a fan of white with ALOT of pearl in it. But I'm not entirely sure how good that would look on an E30. My favs for the E30 are Delphin, hunter green, red, and of course, alpine II

    Black is the best color for any car ever.
    With two exceptions:
    1. Ferrari red if you have a Ferrari(duh).
    2. British Racing Green if you have a Jaguar or Aston Martin.

    Other than that, it is black all the way. Preferably with black or gunmetal trim and not that chrome shit.

    screw you buddy...red e30s are the sexiest esp in coupe form . My 88 zinnerberot *sp* is gonna get a slight change in color. she's Zberot red w black & chrome trim *pretty much stock minus black plastic bumper conversion*. I'm going to have her painted Imola Red w a Jet black hood and trunk. I'm debating whether to have the sunroof done in black also, but I know that'll add to cost of it.

    red is garbage. its been done so many times over it makes me sick. ricering your bmw ? not cool. if you cant afford carbon fiber parts dont poser it black and hope you can fool anyone. and 4 doors ftw !

    I love the red I have. If it was up to my girlfriend it would be pink, all pink. It would have Napolean Dynamite crap all over it. It would even have "Do you have any chapstick?" in the front window. It wouldn't be complete with out the nun-chucks hanging from the rear view. I think we would have to line up the cars and have a cock fight with them if she actually defaced an e30 like that.

    I wanna go fast!

    I can't has e30, but I think it would look excellent in: Hellrot, Avus, Carbon, or estoril.

    Just because there are too many, red white and black fans, Sterling Silver or Delphin Grey. (Also because the 2 e30's I've owned were those colors)
