i would say blue for the e36... the porsche yellow belongs on the porsche, and the porsche only... stay away from black- and you already had white!

unless you are planning to spend serious money and paint door jams, engine bay, trunk lining, under rear seats. and many other places, i would stick to original color.

Are you gonna have the whole car painted (like the engine bay, trunk, door jambs etc? If not don't do it. Changing the color is a PITA, you always find spots where it isn't chaged and its really expensive to do it right.

Alpine White is soooo hot anyways.

Easy. Leave it Alpine White. Never mess with white. And my car will soon look like that white sedan you posted...plus a widebody. Damn that car looks good.

If I have the choice , I will paint my car laguna seca blue... It's the sportiest color imo...

but I choose to keep my car white and buy a new set of ADR Design M-Sport Chrome (or silver, I'm not sure)



would it look nice ?

LET ME TELL YOU, YOU WILL HAVE MAJOR HEADACHES CHANGING THE COLOR. I RUN A BMW BODY SHOP IN NJ AND YOU ARE TALKING BIG BUCKS. PLUS RE-REGISTERING THE CAR AND INSURANCE INFO. AS FOR COLOR, IF IT WAS ME AND YOU ARE INTERESTED IN MY OPINION I WOULD GO TO SAY INFINITI OR NISSAN AND GET THE CODE FOR A 3 STAGE PEARL WHITE. I LOVE PEARL WHITE AND YOU'LL NEVER NOTICE THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN THE JAMBS AND SUCH, BUT THATS MY OPINION
