E36 M3 Color Choice

I'm sure this has been done before, but a search didn't give me what I was looking for. I am trying to decide what color E36 M3 I should buy. I really like blues, but I also like silver and yellow. Opinions are appreciated.

I like black, but it is just too common and too hard to keep clean. I want a color that stands out and is unlike all the other BMWs in my area.

estoril blue=ownage so far. imo it's one of the best colors ever, but it's your car so it's your choice.

no matter what BMW i get... imma paint it estoril.

im planning on getting a 95 ///M. if its avus blue that i get i MIGHT not repaint it.. unless it needs repainting. otherwise.. i plan on repainting it estoril. i just simply love that color.

i have only seen 2 in my area ever. one while driving.. it blew by me.. the other for sale.. its an auto with low mileage (cant remember how much) alpina wheels and clears all around... they are asking 30grand. heh... too much for me.

Estoril is a very nice color, and my favorite color ever produced on any car, but it is in no way rare.

well notice i said in MY area.

see.. where i live is a fairly weathly section of Raleigh.

however.. its not so high-end that you would see tons of ///Ms around. i see a few here and th ere.. but not many like you would in other areas where the people are even weathier.

around here you see TONS of BMWs... i mean it seems each day more and more people own one. but they are your standard 3 and 5 series. a ton of 325s and 328s. so therefore i would not see many cars in estoril blue

and the main reason i am saving for an ///M and not just a 94 or so 325is is because i like to be different and have the best.

if i get a 325is its nothing special to me... i mean.. its a great car.. and im sure id totally enjoy it.. but i want the best..and something not many others have in this area. by not many others i mean far fewer than you would see in other places.. and far fewer than those who own a 325i.

so i have to save my pennies a little bit more.. but IMO its definatly worth it

Estoril Blue has my vote, but i'm a little biased since my fav. color is blue. What bout Laguna Seca blue, would you consider painting it that color?

If I ever decide to repaint my car after I buy it, it wuold be in steel grey. E36 M3s in that color are simply amazing.
