Personally I wouldn't change the color of my z, Atlanta Blue is my favorite color on the Z. I think the only other color would be estoril blue. At least that's just my personal opinion.
2001 BMW 330 CI
2006 Merc C230
boston green or estoril blue
I'd reprint my Oxford green coupe Oxford green Also a fan of Phoenix Yeller.
Boston Green, for certain. HEY! Wait a second, my car IS Boston Green!
I wouldn't. I like my Silver.
I would repaint it Laguna Seca Blue.
I would take the metallic out of my black!
For Original BMW colors - I like Dakar Yellow. But if I had the budget to do the whole car, it'd be School Bus Yellow (or something close to that) with some black accents here and there to break it up.

Imola red fer sure...
Boston Green with the tan top is one tough looking color.
Jaguar had a color that I have loved for years called Carnival Red. It's midway between a pure red and a burgundy with a gold metalflake in it.
The other color I would pick is a Ford Deep Impact Metallic Blue.
Actually I think the Ford Deep Impact Metallic Blue would probably suit the car more than the Jaguar Carnival Red.
I would love to have it black, all black!
Phoenix Yellow
Steel Gray
LSB
My current - Arctic Silver
something between cosmos and steel gray.
black, with red soft top
miss ZUKU!
"Dipped" white, "dipped" blacked out chrome and wheels, and change the entire tan interior over to black....hmmmm, winter project?
Currently alpine white with chips and top coat failure on every panel.
If I couldn't do Dakar Yellow, I'd go with Topaz Blue.
2001 Z3 3.0i -Oxford Green/Sandbeige
2016 428xi -Estoril Blue II/Black
2018 430iC- Estoril Blue II/Black
2018 330it - Melbourne Red/Venetian Beige/Black
I like my jet black but I've always lusted over Imola.

Since recently buying a 96 Silver Z3 it seems that most of the "early" Z3's are Silver, (I need to check the actual name)...and since we already have one Red Cabrio (997) if I were to have it painted I'd probably make it a British Racing Green.
BMWCCA # 12660 (got my 35 year pin in the mail)
PCA 30 Years..........
X5 06 3.0 Saphire Black/Tan-- Ours
Z 3 01 2.5/5 Topaz/Tan (was 96 Silver)-- Mine

Hands down, Cadillac Pearl White. My Subi has a similar layered white color, but nothing like the Caddy color.
2018 X4 M40i
sepang bronze, classy. Although I enjoy having TIAG again.
Steel Grey. I think it would look great over my red and black interior.
