I'd prefer a CSL front bumper, but otherwise, it's close to automotive perfect.
Dang the E9 is a beautiful machine, but as always, could use a bit more stance and wheels from the original factory offering for the WOW factor.

Ohhh... honey, hush...
That is gorgeous

It was a black E9 that first caught my eye. The color of these cars vastly changes their personalities for me: black = sinister and lurking.
Pretty car; but I prefer my blue over the black.

Fjiord for me, I love that little hint of lavender in it. In person I've seen red, white, Atlantik, malaga, gold... I have Baikal but very faded/sunbaked. Baikal was nice and deep but we get too much UV for it to last, at least in whatever two-stage the PO used.
my coupe was black when i bought it (originally baikal) ... 15 minutes after pulling it out of the garage it would be dusty with pollen. i'm with Mike, much prefer blue to black on a coupe ... and that is any blue. where i live the a/c on a coupe isn't good enough to combat the heat gain of a black coupe.
IMHO what looks great on a coupe is a great paint job in excellent shape with excellent trim finish ... it doesn't really matter what color. if the paint is excellent, the car looks great. if the paint is faded, oxidized or not in great shape, it diminishes the appearance. but one of the many excellent colors with a great paint job just looks amazing.

It says a lot for the design, when a car can look good in any colour, though I have my favourites!
I had an "almost" Nachtblau metallic color that could not be matched at the restoration shop when the DOT amber reflectors were shaved. The complete color change to Turkis with the tan interior was worth the time and effort.
