I assume you mean just the front clip, my brother has a 2000cs and I have an E9 so spent quite a bit of time looking at the differences, and what is interesting is the shape of the crease lines around the front are differentJust show it from the rear. I wonder if an E9 nose would fit on a 2000cs. Are they the same size?
I really like red E9's, Loren's when 'new' was the coolestI also tend to think of Verona as lipstick red, knowing full well that lipstick comes in more shades than BMW red. One could almost say fire engine red to get the point across.
Granada reminds me of cherries, although “cherry red” may draw a different visual for some.

Within the paint FAQ I posted this pic of Verona up against my Granada car. I also
think (agree?) that Granada is closer to Malaga
than Verona.

Granada e9’s are actually rather rare. I’m just not a huge fan of red cars that don’t have a prancing horse on them. I’ll be doing a color change also.
I had a 2002 that was Bristol, I really didn't like it, one advantage, there was a spray can primer that was an almost exact match, great for touch upsI personally thing Bristol looks like primer.

when were these photos taken? great to seeHijack but Loren is the previous previous previous owner of my car (not including me). It has stayed with friends and family since he owned it in the 80’s, and he is still local to Seattle.
Great plate. Wish I had it! Note the <5mph passenger side bumper smack. The mount was bent a tad.

i mean yeah, but have you ever glossed a primer?I personally thing Bristol looks like primer.
AV - the owner of the Derby e28 said, "TELL HIM TO GO FOR IT, IT'S A GREAT COLOR!" LOL....But after reading the comments about interior color matching the exterior, I agree it should be part of the decision making. But seeing the color of your e3 now, it should match assuming that is the car in your icon pic. A darker interior would be better than lighter, unless a grey I think. Cardinal red would look really good IMO if you are looking to change that as well. I'm also assuming you are not going down that rabbit hole....for now at least. Let us know what you decide, good luck, hope the pics helped make up your decision.Nice!
Thanks Chris, my bad on the e28, I realized that when I was sleeping and forgot to correct later. Anyhow, I think as close as anyone is going to get to see what Derby would look like on an e3 since the e12 is a bigger sedan vs. seeing the color on a 2002 or coupe. the e12 is fresh paint and all, I think good color match at that from the other Derby cars I've seen in person. I don't know of any e3's in Derby, do you?Gavin’s Derby sedan is an e12 done in a homage to the 530MLE South African race car.
