I had a Havana Brown E89 and loved the colour. I sold to my mate who still has it to this day.

Actually, completely forgot Carbon black which looks fantastic on an E85 or E86

Presume you meant top 3 most popular colours, not people's favourites? No idea. But one wasn't Sepang brown now was it?
I can't help but laugh when I see cars advertised for sale as 'rare colour'. Unless it was a limited edition colour it was unpopular, the only reason it is/was rare.
That Havana Brown on the E89 is very very 'rare', for good reason.
I must admit the only Sepang I've seen (in pictures) is Shaun's and it looks stunning. Probably more to do with the fact it's very shiny and he takes a good picture than anything else. I think of Allegros, Rover P6s and Austin Princesses when it comes to brown cars. Maybe many others did too which is maybe why they haven't been very popular in the last 30 years.
I did see a Merlot E85 the other day; that was quite funky!
All good things come to those who wait. I'm really impatient which explains a lot.
F31 320i. Good car.

They resurrected Phoenix yellow for the M3 and M4. I have a mate who has one; looks like baby sick IMHO!

I know what you mean, but Carbon Schwartz is a fantastic colour when the suns out, hands down better than the other two blacks.

Ruby Black looks great in the sun as well, but as I found out it's also hard work to keep clean!
My preferences would be Imola Red, Interlagos Blue and Phoenix Yellow in that order- I like a bit of colour.
Coupes because stunning!

I used to have a brown TR8 which looked quite good at the time. Cr*p now perhaps but good at the timePondrew wrote: ↑Thu Aug 18, 2022 6:45 pmPresume you meant top 3 most popular colours, not people's favourites? No idea. But one wasn't Sepang brown now was it?

I had a beige Ford Capri as my first car. It was a horrible colour then aswell.
