Thumbs up on Oxblood interior/Derby Exterior!
Derby on an E3?
- Thread starter E3AV
- Start date
Looks military-ish to me.
Might look good with a red star on the side though.

Great! Now we can debate whether the red star should be a grenada or verona.
My opinion on this color is based on other things to consider. If you're (anyone) looking at a color that MIGHT look good but you're not sure, you're risking a lot of time and effort (and money) on something you might not like. I've always relied on seeing a factor color on a car that has a color name/code associated with it or seen a custom color on a car that I can get the code/name for. The worst thing that can happen is to put a bunch of time and effort into a paint job that is suppose to make you feel really good and excited when it's done, then end up feeling disappointed.

Once when I was selecting a color to have a car painted, the bodyman advised me to buy a pint of all the colors that interested me, and he would paint a quarter of the car in each of these colors. We were evaluating subtly different shades of red, not black, white, yellow and pink, so he knew he could cover the rejected colors with no difficulty. He said that you'll never appreciate a color until you see it on the car (well, at least one area of the car), which I felt was good advice.

Does anyone have more pictures of Nevada E3’s? Not that many to find using google.
Nevada is kinda cool, and somewhat rare. And there's always Chamonix!

Looks beautiful.
It’s a great and pretty rare color, I like it.
I wouldn't spray an E3 in Nevada if you paid me; unless it came originally in Nevada. Too much like Sahara, doesn't pop like you think in the sun. Yes, it's rare, because nobody wanted it, unlike the safety color cars that have come around now that bright colors or pastels are back "en vogue." I'll say this for the last time, Derby would look awesome on an E3. Your car, your money and time...... do what you want. Of course if it's not Golf, even Derby is just a compromise.......
I'll bite......mmmmmm RED.....LOL Verona? Maybe not a BMW color? Maybe......Derby? LOL...
