Decided to add some more color with a new DD.
..(chuckling) Yeah Markos, now that I've "come out" in Turkis... Please delete those cars from my memory!
Actually, I wasn't even thinking about buying an E9, I mean, it was a life-long dream I thought I would never fulfill, but when this fellow sent me the photo of his Turkis project, I immediately shot back an SMS and said: "That's MY car! Don't sell MY car!" I was lucky that it never went "on the market", or I would have paid much more dearly.
I have to say, after seeing a number of cars recently on the market that Atlantikblau, or OCCoupe's Nachtblau are possibly the colors most complimentary of the E9, E3, '02 form.
But yes, I see a lake from my balcony and...
"Well, there is a popular surf beach near me called just that - Snapper Rocks. I suppose I stretch my imagination and see the water colour there as the inspiration for the BMW colour."
.... like that.
And... I can't wait to park it (in full sun) next to...
Tricky part is... In Switzerland we can "change plates" as I can only drive one at a time, so I pay insurance for one, and the other piggy-backs on the policy for a few francs more. So technically, I can never have them both in the same place at the same time (outside of my garage)!

I have a CSil in fjord that was originally taiga, maybe one day I will repaint it taiga but as the paint is 99% perfect so that day is not now, I am having the same problem with a Mk2 jaguar, it is a rather plain dark green, non metalic, it needs a total repaint, I love the look of them in red, I have spent about 5 years looking at the rows of Mk2's at the Goodwood revival trying to decide........... some I walked past without even noticing they were Mk2's, mainly grey or green, yup I think it will be red, actually I love a CSil in red, quite a rare colour?
My vote for Turkis...
very nice turkis ...
I like both colors ! Probably Taiga more. But I vote to keep it Turkis
