Oh my God I'm in love. I've a '53' E46 330i Sport Saloon, in boring blue. Honestly I think this is my favourite car I've seen in Readers' Cars. If I had the money mine would be getting a respray right now. That colour is gorgeous. Must be a very rare car, I've never seen any in that colour, would be interesting to hear from BMW about how many were made, it may well be unique. Mum has a Audi S4 in an a special Audi colour, and Audi UK said it was the only one sold in the UK in her model.

petrolveins, I know what you have! I've been following your thread in Readers' Cars, it's an excellent insight into running one of these and you clearly REALLY enjoy your car.

I washed it yesterday and parked in the sun, the colour appeared to be a bubble gum pink - it looked amazing.

Looks mint, third picture is awesome.

I think the current colour of alloys really suit, but your choice. cool

Oh I love it, mine got washed yesterday too, it's 4th wash since buying it perhaps :/
I just can't stop driving the thing. Enjoy yours, and for goodness sake don't spend too long admiring the colour.

Your car would really suit a CSL boot lip spoiler and a set of BBS LM's, or M3 CSL wheels in shadow chrome. Just an idea biggrin

Mine is a facelift '03, so nothing strange there to be honest. I love this colour OP. The BMW individual cars can really have some great combinations sometimes.
Yeah. My facelift 330 Sport Coupe was an 03. Albeit a very late one, think was registered in August 03.

What a beautiful colour. Would personally love to see this with cream leather and black carpets - perfect interior combo for the perfect exterior look. I have travelled deep into the BMW Individual colour charts, I have sprayed up a few 1:18 models in limited colours. An E36 Coupe in Lila Metallic, Z4 in Urban Green and a Z3 Coupe in Laguna Seca blue (well... Using Hyundais new blue - close enough, saved me money as I had a can laying around) and I'd love to spray up an E46 model in this colour. Would you by any chance be able to give me the paint code?

That's an incredible colour... you need to get a photo next to an Atlantis Blue one, perfect contrast!
