CubbyChowder finally got a BMW 2002 - it's project time

[///e36]

check out BMW cypress green, I believe it was from around that era as well. One of my favorites.

edit:

[skiierman]

how about a solid darker blue like jesse james mercury is...




or oem nevada

the one of the 02 is in portland, Ill have to keep an eye out for it

These two are spot on! The nevada would look amazing, but the blue works better with the black wheels, both are great colors though. Im sure that whatever you end up choosing will look amazing.

British Racing Green, or purple.

My 2002 touring in Blui (RAL 5015)

Personally id stick with a BMW oem colour. Would really consider Calypso red, someone on here from the west coast i think, has an e30 calypso red which appeared on the main page article a few times. 02 would look stunning in the same colour.

I love the build! I'm sure it'll look great in just about any color but I do like that oem Nevada color.

[JRodigan]

If we're suggesting colors here, what about a dark purple like Midnight Plum?

[slashl0l]

OEM Inka Orange?

[Exami]

Id say any nonmetalic oem color except white or black.

[MGW]

Nevada is spot on. Boom. Go with it.

Alpine White is always a winner

[CubbyChowder]

Thanks for all the suggestions guys, got a lot of good ones. Luckily I still have plenty of time to decide, I'm all over the place right now when it comes to color choices. I'm still waiting on that one.... The one that will hit home as soon as I see it. The color will find me my friends.

Expect more actual updates very soon, finishing up a job at my shop tomorrow which has been taking up ALL of my free shop time as of lately. My next step will be fabricating the rear bag mounts for the top, and I'm 99% sure that I'm going with a different engine setup than the M10/5-speed. Been doing a ton of research and I think I'm gonna bite the bullet and go for it (it's nothing wild, more tried and true). Plus, this gives me a chance to redo my engine bay which has been killing me since I painted it. Time to do it right.

or oem atlantikblau

Hey ― I'm famous! That's my car!

How about MINI Ice Blue?



Would look great with a black Alpina-style hood/trunk/accent line and your black wheels. (s/orange/blue). Colour looks fantastic with black wheels.



For a solid colour, take a look at Porsche's Agate Grey Metallic. Really sets off chromework, love the 991 in this shade.

your awesome car has caused me to quit lurking, love it and fully second the nevada color
