i love the OEM silver but if you’re absolutely set on changing then it’s estoril blue FTW.

Great feedback guys, thank you. I really like estoril blue! The only issue I have with it is that under the hood you will see a clear difference... it is sort of gray/unfinished under the hood, and looks very close to Hockenheim silver in color. So I figured if one would ever dig around, it wouldn't pop that the car is a different color.

However, it seems that no one really voted on that idea... estoril blue is still the top color choice. I wanted something a bit unique for the e38, vs an original color (since car is not original, and I am not doing the original imitation).

I'm not into red's, though appreciate them.

keep going though, I like the ideas!

Not sure if the attached link will help or make your choice harder, still there's some great colour choices.
Steel blue looks good, so does techno violet but personally I'd keep it silver.

Enjoy the link

Titanium silver, metallic Schwarz or estoril blue. I’d go with black:
