I have to decide on the color soon. I narrowed it down to the following specs.....jus need some opinions.

1>Carbon black/ imola red interior

2>Laguna seca blue/black interior

3>Laguna seca blue/Laguna seca interior (extra $$$)

4>Le mans blue/laguna seca interior ( extra $$$ )

PH

 

those colors that beltfed showed a while back were sweet,

i dont see the lemans blue on the bimmer website

but i'd get black or imola red, that blue is too light. black interior of course

 

pimp daddy gold

 

I say get Le mans blue, but dont get the laguna interior. Im not much of a fan of it. Here are pics of the seca interior for those who dont know what color it is... http://forum.e46fanatics.com/showthr...r&pagenumber=1

But Le mans blue is BAD ASSS!!!

Or get carbon/red

 

get that PURPLE... i don't know what it's called but as i believe Beltfed said "it's rare"

 

techno Violet is the purple color. Its bad ass too. They make all sorts of colors.. but if i were to get an m3 and pay extra for paint... then i would go for Bluewater EU or Estoril Blue

Heres a link of some colors and interior colors http://www.m3supercar.com/e46.html

 

i saw a dark silver on a M5 yesterday..............dont know the color, but it was the nicest paint i have ever seen on any car

 

was the m5 steel grey?
like this

 

crazy.. nice car!!!
purple.. black on RED!!!!!

 

Auugghhh... My eyes That color interior is a sure way to kill resale value. It's not blue it's turquoise !!

I really like the beemers in Blue. I've seen enough of the silver 3 series to last a lifetime. Up here in the Northeast most of the beemers are silver.

Blue is the way to go for the exterior. Estoril Blue looks good.

 

seriously though i'd go for the cinnamon leather interior. I don't even see the laguna seca on the choice list of the bmw configurator...imola, grey. cinnamon, black, black with m cloth inserts are the only options I see...

 

that smurf interior can't be real. thats horrible looking. looks like something chevrolet would do, not BMW.

please tell me thats fake.

 

I don't think you can get black with imola interior...so get the black with cinnamon interior. That or the Blue with black interior! Or the alpine white with imola red. Either way I envy you!

 

Leguna Seca Interior is nasty...I like the red interior best.

 

easy ..

1>Carbon black/ imola red interior

 

You bastard...I m so jealous..

 

Bluewater EU is PIMP!!!

 

2 hottest colors IMHO..........both available for $2k.

Techno Violet




Avus Blue

 

avus blue over black

 

hot choice as well.. not feelin' the Violet much.

 

1>Carbon black/ imola red interior

 

Careful w/ the IR interior, there are many reported cases of smells from the dye used on the leather.

As for exterior, stay w/ the safe colors because of resale values. Carbon black, steel grey, avus blue, and titanium silver etc. are all safe. Purple, yellow, and others ... unless you plan on keeping the car forever.

 

I like avus blue, but I dont think its worth 2k more. It pretty much looks like the new mysitc blue that they have now for free.

But i would sooo hump that violet

 

I detailed a 328ci blue (not sure if was Avus, doubtful).. nice color though.. But I am a titanium silver, carbon black or dark grey kinda guy... Especially in something that badass, got to rock the hard up colors... don't be a pansy ass.

They are all nice colors....

 

laguna seca/black

 

carbon/red

that violet may be rare for a good reason...

 

Actually, Mystic Blue isn't free (BMW charges for Metallic paint)....its $475.

Not to mention in person, Mystic doesn't hold a candle to Avus Blue. Avus Blue is like the nicest shade of blue I have seen from BMW. Lemans Blue comes in at a close second (that's closer to Avus than Mystic is, which is too dark).

 

No reason, all of the custom colors are rare for the E46.

When Techno was available on the E36 (standard color), I saw them.....not in droves but I did see them.

Techno Violet looks killer in person, not very showy, real dark and very expensive looking.

 

WHITE on Black!!!

 

i love that Techno Violet. That is hot hot hot!!!! I would get that with the Cinnamon interior. I have a new goal in life.

 

ive seen the laguna seca blue in person and its pretty cool, kind of ugly but in an hey i have an m3 asshole kind of way

 

you have an m3 asshole? does it go 0-60 in 4.8 seconds and top out at 155? That's a mighty asshole.

 

BLUEWATER EU!!!

I don't know if I could get a purple M3.

 

If you're talking about this Bluewater, barf......I think this color is Nasty (close to Silverstone, but liked it better than this).

 

Bluewater and bluewater EU are different i guess.

Silverstone known as Bluewater in USA, thats the one you just posted.

I think this is the Bluewater EU, go to this link and look near the bottom for it http://www.m3supercar.com/e46.html

 

WHITE WITH RED LEATHER
ID JUST ORDER IT THAT E36 YELLOW WITH BLACK INTERIOR:P

 

I'm 99% sure that Bluewater replaced Silverstone, Silverstone had a blue tint to it....but it was slightly darker than Bluewater.

 

Well either way its still ugly

 

thx for the replies.....
I am leaning towards laguna seca/black But the carbon black/red combo is very tempting.
As for purple..i wish i can more pics and maybe just one in real life.....it could be awesome like belfed said but i still have to see it once.

Here are some more photos of Techno V......seeing one in person will be a long shot. I lucked out and saw one at the dealer being serviced.







Estoril Blue is in the middle
