Do you know your Macao Blue from your Imola Red and your Carbon Black? These are the paint finishes that have been a part of BMW M for decades. These M specific 'original paint colours' are forever associated with the most iconic cars the company. has ever built.
Many of those colours are still available today. The Origins and History Behind BMW's Metallic Blue BMW's association with blue began in the 1970s as paint technology advanced to allow for eye-catching metallic finishes. The company's marketers realized they needed a vibrant color that would highlight the sleek new 3 Series coupe launched in 1975.
But blue wasn't BMW's first choice. Nothing BMW offered in the E46 line was anything like Atlantis blue. Long Beach Blue also looks nice, but isn't quite as special.
I don't think either color is too over-the-top. Plus, it appears to be a purpose-built track car, so resale value won't be affected much either way by choosing a unique color. This 2004 BMW M3 might be the perfect E46 and in addition to it having a rare color combination, it's only covered ~29,000 miles (~46,670 km).
It's hardly a surprise then that bidding on it. The S54-powered E46 M3 is widely regarded as a fan favorite among the BMW M car lineage. The car was a big step forward from the E36 generation for enthusiasts in the United States since we never received the 321hp S50B32 engine.

(Visiting from the E30 board) Does anyone out there have an E46 in Orient Blue Metallic? I'm planning to repaint my car because in some light the factory Royalblau Metallic takes on a nasty purple cast. Is Orient Blue a safe bet, or does it suffer from the same problem? TIA!
