The lava orange i know was only for the five door and the car looks hot in it.


It was available in 4 and 5 door in 2004.

Well shut my mouth. I did not know that. Why are they not offered on the 07 and 08 models? Those are great colors; I like yours a lot. Wanna sell it to me for 10K?.....is worth a try...sorry. Great reply tho! Thanks


Not really sure.  The yellow (in my opinion) really wasn't as dynamic a color as the other ones.  I'm pretty sure it was a flat color without metallic flakes to give that sparkle and color shift like you see with the lava orange and copper red.  The nordic green actually looks fantastic in person.... pictures really can't do it justice as it just looks black. 

10K?  No way.  $15k sounds about right. :)

We actually just bought a sedan in phantom purple and it looks really good. My wife has an obsession with purple, but I actually think the car looks really good in the phantom purple, especially after we get the windows tinted.

I want either the True Red or the Galaxy Grey. I don't know why the Purple is even available...it doesn't match the personality of the car at all.

Some colors that I would love to see the 3 in that aren't available are Dark Red, Yellow, Burnt Orange, and Forest Green.

I have to agree w/you again. (Stop doing that!!  )  The yellow was kind-of-a disappointment and coulda'/shoulda' been hotter color.  Blazing Yellow of the MSP's comes to mind. 
And you're right again, Mr. Spots.  Solar yellow was a monotone color, which is really OK by me had it's tone/hue been better for the car. It's the rarest of colors for the 3 series and most that I know of were man-u-matics too, though not all.

I've only seen one up close and personal, but I have to agree w/you.  It's a strange kinda' purple but not w/o merit.  Being in the hot Texas sun though, I don't think it would be my color of choice for around here.  I have a hard time understanding why black cars/trucks are so popular here.
I had a burgundy micro-van before my 3, and that sucker got HOT in the summer sun.  The A/C, when working, was more effective than the 3's too, but never again will I get a dark colored car 'round these parts.
