Smac01 12 Report post Posted August 29, 2012 Trying to decide if Santorini Blue is an awesome colour for an E36, or an eye sore. (Like the Fiji Green debate). What do you think? Check out the E36 below as a thought starter. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest Ari Gold Report post Posted August 29, 2012 (edited) The E36 above is Laguna Seca, but Santorini is almost identical: http://www.stanceworks.com/forums/showthread.php?t=4633 My personal favourite E36 blue is Atlantis (Or Petrol Mica, but try finding one) Awesome detailing writeup on Atlantis: http://www.detailingworld.co.uk/forum/showthread.php?t=73221 Edited August 29, 2012 by Ari Gold Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
liyi_92 37 Report post Posted August 29, 2012 Nice! I think it fits the e46 better though? Maybe the photo just isn't doing any justice Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Andre3000 55 Report post Posted August 29, 2012 I swear the lead designer of the e36 had a young child with a pastel collection. Those colours suit the shape so well! santorini blue fiji green dakar yellow nom nom Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
AN E30 Fan 1 Report post Posted August 29, 2012 I love it. I love Fiji Green more though, guess that is going to be a new car Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Smac01 12 Report post Posted August 29, 2012 Atlantis blue looked pretty awesome. Santorini is definitely a strong colour. Here's another photo of an E36 in Santorini. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Smac01 12 Report post Posted August 29, 2012 Yeah I was looking at a well optioned '98 325i Motorsport sedan. Factory 5 speed manual with light grey leather. It's a SA import (by BMW NZ back in '99). I'm not 100% convinced on the colour though so was keen to get your thoughts! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

With a caramel interior that would be mind-bogglingly cool. A bit like this (but darker caramel/tan): Edited August 29, 2012 by jeffbebe Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Apex 693 Report post Posted August 29, 2012 That is nice. The colour is like French Racing Blue, Jaguar use it on the XKRS. I know the parts manager at my workshop has a special import Clio 197 Cup in that colour too, it really pop's. I like it. I like it alot. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
