Hallo!
It's a metallic paint....
I was told that my color was superseded by Cirrus, but looking at Your car they told me somthting wrong!!!!!!!!Good colour.... I always thought that Cosmos blue was a dark "electric"blue ....the cosmosblau in 6ers was a "sonderlackierung"= under request colour...There' was the cosmosschwartz as standard....
I'm always learning about BMWs....

Hi sisco,
the solid colour I was thinking of is called Basalt blue I think.
the darker metallic blue was called Arctic Blue I think.
the very dark solid blue was Lapis.
the very light blue-silver metallic was Sapphire.
BMW sure had a lot of blue shades to offer us in the 1980s.

Yuo're right , arktis blauwas the darkest metallic paint , and lapis was the the darkest solid one.
Saphir blau was similar to ccosmos or Fjord, right?

Sapphire superceded Fjord I think.
Cosmos was a little darker than Sapphire.

Horsetan , how did you know my 6 is on 16" alpinas ? . You didn't spot me in the oul country did you ? .I have recently completed without a glitch a 1500 mile jaunt back to ireland averaging 27mpg !. I can't make my mind up wheel wise, original 240 metrics, 17" bbs splits or the alpinas?. It will probably be at gaydon on the alpinas, i will give potential 'victims' a choice.

Hopefully you won't have ruined the suspension and steering bushes in doing so...

Amazingly no new squeaks or rattles have appeared but i did do some major refurbishing before hand. I still find it hard to believe after all these years of the 'celtic tiger' that the irish have still got a 3rd world road network, it took me nearly 4 hours to drive from roscommon to dublin on my way back ,140 km!. Next time i'll stick to rosslare fishguard a bonus being the easy /quick drive to fishguard this end, none of that holyhead wrongness.

I always hire Fiat Puntos when I'm there. On my last-but-one stay, I drove it 1600 miles in three weeks, and wrecked the rear suspension by the time I handed it back in Dublin.....
Most of my driving's done on the back roads, so hardly surprising.
Fishguard / Pembroke Dock - Rosslare route would be what I'd use, since I usually need to be in Co.Clare....
