silver? I don't think that's that rare heh

[calypso]

Reminds me of Silverstone on the E39.

[BimmerBergen]

It´s not all that silver actually, it has quite the blue tint to it. Looks better in person!

[BimmerBreaker]

silver? I don't think that's that rare heh

facepalm...

Looks like bluewater for the E39.

Alright color, wouldnt choose it myself. Interior needs some finishing up...

[xeler8]

I've got a 92 that looks like the same color. How do I check the paintcode?

[Spyke]

Driver side strut tower.

I kinda like it... if there was more work done on it it would look a lot sharper.

[Headnsouth]

No paint code info. idunno

[SeanKimston]

looks like mercedes metalic baby blue

The number should be on the shock tower with the paint name.

Interesting that it'd be a rare colour, seems like one of those colours that you'd see everywhere.

[Russell042]

I like the interior.

16inch style 44?

[canisM3]

reminds me of my dads cirrusblau metallic on his 88 635csi.

[M3GTii]

That is a rare colour, there is a fiji green m3 on e36coupe.com (UK forum).

Not too many Imola Red E36's . . .

This is my car
Thanks for comments!

What we actually meant by writing "rare" is the special color 280 Gletscherblau on E36 Coupe. Not how similiar it is to the other silver colours by BMW

This colour was just produced on E36's from 91-93. This is a 1993 320i coupe, with 109 000miles on it. No rust.
The whole interior was blue, but I've changed the dashboad, floor carpet, door cards and seats. I know there's some blue parts inside still, but these parts will be changed as soon as I have the money for it

Here's some before/after pictures:

I would of left the interior blue...Black is too common. Car looks amazing though

[Joakim B]

Yeah, well I couldn't stand the hideous blue colour on the interior, didn't match in at all when I fitted the sport seats in black.. So I went all in, and changed everything
Thanks btw

[Schermer]

You made a good decision, the blue did look kinda goofy hah. Car looks clean as hell too. It seems that the clean ones are all hiding on the opposite coast from me.

[Milla]

Wow! What a cool color!

[Compactive]

I'd like to see the color in some natural light... the photos are too touched up to appreciate the color.

Car looks good though, good use some new shoes

Glacier Blue is the hottest color of 2012! It's the new teal!
