What color is the best of best you think?

If you're going to re-spray then go off-book and do something that wasn't available to order when new, because if you're just going to paint it a standard colour, then surely it would be easier and cheaper to just buy one in the colour that you want?

Also, depends what your colour your seats are.

But if i could order one new, dark green with a tan interior. Hmmmm...
 
This 840 colour would look nice on a Coupe

I saw a new 3 series yesterday that was a dark metallic grey / black, never seen it before but it looked great and I thought it would make a great Z colour. I love my Stratus Grey coupe - it really pops in the sun with browns and greys in the paint, in the rain though it looks diesel blue!

Fearful of getting thrown off the forum, I’ll through in a Vauxhall colour seen on the Corsa, it a dark met grey that looks like you could put you hand in it - it would work well too!

Not what I had in mind when I started looking but Merlot Red has really grown on me over the years. I thnk it really suits the cream leather interior too

I disagree, BMW produced some amazing colours at the time but the nicer ones are rarely found on affordable examples (at least here on mainland Europe). I’m not going to dish out 50k in Euro because I definitely need to have Sepang or Imola on an E85 Z4. And yes, that is what the M cars in those colours with low mileage go for nowadays over here.

So I’d be more than happy to respray in:
- Imolared
- Interlagosblue
- Montegoblue
- Phoenixyellow
- Sepangbronze
- Deepgreen

Of course when looking for sterling silver or sapphire black I completely agree and you should trade your car for one in those colours since there are many.
 
Here’s what appears to be an Atacama Yellow E85 :thumbsup:

Yeah, I guess by installing the picnic table so high up, they then had to lower the suspension to reach it. :rofl:

😏

I was thinking the sheer amount of downforce generated by that wing had just permanently squashed the suspension 😏😆

What about something like Audi's Nardo grey?119063820_3511858512167043_3004524881908183231_n.jpg

Rich, that’s the individual colour I asked if I could a special order for the G29 in, obviously BMW’s version not Audi’s

I know Andy that a lot of people would say it was just in primer and they forgot to paint it but I think it looks cool, I could get a car that matched my hair colour :oldman:
 
I have a white E89 now but miss my previous Zed in Estoril Blue :(
