    Different Colors on different cars

    Isn't it funny how different cars look good in different colors....
    Like.....laguna seca blue on e46 m3's, or the dark grey on m5's, estoril on e36 m3's...list some car/color combinations that you like...
    also funny how some colors just would not look good on other cars..but look great on the cars they are made for...phoenix yellow..cant think of another car besides e46 m3 that it would look good on..or dakar wouldnt look right on a 5 er...of course these are all MY opinions..

    I notice that. German cars seem to look good in subtle colors like silver and black, blue, etc. Italian exotics almost have to be red or yellow, and then of course there is British Racing green on Brit cars. These are just gerenalizations though. M3s look awesome in yellow and red and well... just about anything...

    I second that one. I'm also a fan of E46 alpine sedans.

    True, and I think that the main split in terms of color between higher end cars is between serious (ie business) and sporty cars (ie weekend roadsters).

    IMO, the wheels make the car, the color compliments the wheels.
