    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.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    Hands down, Cadillac Pearl White. My Subi has a similar layered white color, but nothing like the Caddy color.

    Steel Grey. I think it would look great over my red and black interior.
