    WTB: Lapisblaue e23 / 745i

    I'm looking for a Lapis e23 (preferably 745i). If you have one or any leads, please let me know. Thanks!

    Lapis Blus is a great color. First e23 I owned, 26 years ago, was an 82 Lapis Blue 733i. I’ve got to go search for some pictures.
    Good Luck with your search.

    It'd be great to see pictures. This seems to be an uncommon color.

    Boy, every time I see an image of that car it makes me sad... Those images were taken at the church around the corner from my house...

    Thumbs up

    Guys, I recall when that Hartge was cheap. I hope I am on the short list for Keith's...I have a lead on a Highline 745. 1/329 built.
    I make E23 parts.
    09/1983 745i (stolen spring '13 around Houston, TX Achatgruen on nutria buffalo. 8481080)
    10/1984 745i
    11/1984 745i
    11/1984 735i (10:1-265/6)
    Ford, MB, and GM round out the pack.

    I found old pictures of my Lapis Blue e23 circa 1993. Sorry about the low quality. It was the analog era.

    Where does that car live now? It must have been a late 82? I understand this was a 1 year only color.

    Its long gone. I bought it from the original owner in Sausalito in 1993. I brought both my kids home from the hospital in that car. Sold to a friend in San Francisco in 1999 when we moved back to the east coast. It became a city car so it got pretty beat up. They drove it for another 3 years, at around 250K miles the auto trans went and they donated it.
    Sigh...

    Not complete but the color charts I have show that lapis blue was available in 82-83 and 85. No 84 chart for the E23. The E28 showed the color available from 82-87.

    Thanks for the info! This makes the haystack a tad smaller for my search.

    Still looking. I had a lead, but way out of my price range.
