Here is a video on almost all of the 2002 colors. Many of them are also Coupe colors. It's a good guide for those thinking of a color change when you want to stay with a period-correct color.

Pretty cool and love the music. Did not watch it all yet but a few errors e.g. Amazonas is not a metallic.
i always thought my '76 2002 was malaga ... but this video says it stopped in '74 ... perhaps it was madeira, but the video says 1502 only. i always thought it was lighter than all of the malaga cars that i saw ... but never knew the color existed. i only had the car for 2 weeks before it was stolen in uptown New Orleans - within 6 hours after returning from out of town. never found
a few anomalies - like nachtblau. perhaps only on coupes, not 2002. i dunno.
thanks for posting it was fun to watch

Sweet way to kill 15 minutes, thanks!!
Remember when you paid extra$$ for the metallic clearcoat colors? Then in 2 years they were all crinkled and had to be sanded down to bare metal for a re-paint. I think BMW paid for that after a big stink from all who had the problem.
Nachtblau was coupe only. Not available on 114 or e3. Adriatic was the eventual replacement.
My 75 2002 in the 80s was Malaga (with electric sunroof!) so more than one error.
many thanks Chris ...
