E36 colors

Recommended Posts

Guest Andrew

Hi All -

Did E36s come out in Oriental Blue - car is 97 -

I found a pic of an Oriental Blue e46 - can't decide if its the same color or not. Driving me nuts - don't think its Montreal Blue

Pics: My car (i'll be bringing it back from tauranga on friday btw)

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.

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.

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.
