Turkis - Color Code 065

A 2800 would have been Tundra Metallic, code 068.

Very likely and beautiful. Or Agave 071, non metallic dark green, though I've probably never seen an Agave E9. Türkis Metallic is a bright blue-green and appeared in autumn 1972 when the 2800 CS was long discontiued.

Very nice color indeed, that is may be why the e9 in the BMW Museum in Munich is Turkis.
Just to complete the thread, I have this rare leaflet announcing this new color dated September 1972.
Next is color chart sept . 73, still available
Then 02/74………gone !!!!

Turkis - Color Code 065

Turkis Code 065 was a factory color in 1973, 4, and 1975.

Thanks for the color chart information. I was under the impression that Turkis was a factory color for 3 years starting in 1973. It looks like BMW only had it on 1973 models.

The color pallate from BMW (and other manufacturers) in the 1970's is so vibrant.

In winter 20/21 the BMW E3 Club attempted for a colour timeline, see here: <https://bmw-e3-club.de/lackfarben/>. You can find the link somewhere in the FAQ section, too. Leave off 1976/77 and add Nachtblau Metallic 040 for the E9. The timeline is based on all colour brochures BMW printed then. Hope you like it.
