bravo 34 Report post Posted October 18, 2005 RJ - I see you reading this - [post yours up for a comparison. The e46 is different to both e36's e36's are similar, but lighting makes it hard to make a direct comparison. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

*RJ* 0 Report post Posted October 18, 2005 Jesus you're observant Graham. Mine is a similar colour, it looks electric blue in the right light or black in othe instinces. I love the pic below as it changes colour in the different light. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
a13antichrist 0 Report post Posted October 18, 2005 (edited) What does it say on the inside of the left wheel arch under the bonnet? If it says Montrealblau there I'd be pretty trusting of that.. As far as I know Oriental Blue didn't exist until the E46.. and montrealblau isn't available on the E46. If you compare the bostongrun on the E36s to the dark green (don't know its name) on the E46 there's a HUUUUGE difference - there's a very obvious brightness/hue/reflectivity difference. The blues might simply be the same colour, just renamed for marketing purposes. Edited October 18, 2005 by a13antichrist Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
