This came from an idea that I got while perusing Pauls thread on Candy Blue and Gold. Apparently BMW have made themselves a Gold MINI for the JCW Race Series (I think). If you could have a MINI in ANY colour or colour combination what would it be?

Perhaps a Velvet Red with a Silver roof? quite classy?

A Flourescent Pink MINI for those who like being different?

The choice is yours

Ive seen an M5 in a purple/blue colour that would look great with a white roof

Dom · Apr 23rd, 2002, 07:35 AM

Similar to ScottyHP, but not quite:

I'd choose Black with a purple and 'faint-hint-of-gold' flip with a metallic white roof.

Fuchsia and Lime Green, which is pretty close to what I have now as Chilli Red is more a blue tone red than a yellow toned one.

There are two, yellow with flourescent pink roofed Coopers in Ireland I believe, used by The Clerk of the Course on the Circuit of Ireland Rally over Easter!!

That sounds great, very subtle but nice.

How about a pearlescent roof instead of the metallic white, similar to the Alfa colour?

CANDY BLUE (with a white roof).

Varse · Apr 23rd, 2002, 09:27 AM

I'd quite like that M3 sludgy grey/greeny colour, anyone have the faintest which one I mean??

Or an aubergine colour.

I wondered if you'd answer Paul, and I geussed that would be your answer

ScottyHP · Apr 23rd, 2002, 09:40 AM

Yes I think but as with the one I like I think its one of those individual colour options only available to 'M's so its pretty rare as there arn't that many new M5 & M3 about (well by me anyway!!!)

Varse · Apr 23rd, 2002, 09:43 AM

Actually come to think about it, it was on a 330Ci in a BMW showroom, maybe it was just a special colour. Might have a look on the BMW website.

BMW Techno-Violet, black roof w/ polished aluminum wheels

ackel · Apr 23rd, 2002, 01:08 PM

Darker than Indi Blue metallic. Or solid Candy Blue. Both, of course, with white roof and wheels!

smiffy · Apr 23rd, 2002, 01:14 PM

The Colour of that TVR in Swordfish

MGB Boy · Apr 23rd, 2002, 04:52 PM

A true British Racing Green with a white roof. By "true British Racing Green" I mean non-metallic and not quite so dark. Either that or a metallic blue a bit lighter than Indi Blue, sort of a royal blue metallic (like what Subaru and MG have). Still with a white roof, of course.

-Ricardo

A blue like this (and they can throw in the, uh, "hood ornament" too, if they want):

back to subject, I would want my dream MINI to be in Chrome Shadow (as seen on the M3 below) which is not a production color. It's similar to dark silver which I am going for, but it's more 'vibrant' making it look a bit more special. Oh yeah, white roof/mirrors with that please.
