Crumpsall Alloys supply and fit from our Manchester workshop, free fitting available.
Dark Blue 3 Series?
A BMW 3 Series IV (E46) Facelift in Dark Blue, we’d run silver — silver keeps a blue car clean and classic — never dates, lets the paint be the star; or gunmetal — the modern pick — cool-on-cool, reads premium and a bit purposeful.
Avus Blue Metallic 3 Series?
A BMW 3 Series IV (E46) Facelift in Avus Blue Metallic, we’d run silver — silver keeps a blue car clean and classic — never dates, lets the paint be the star; or gunmetal — the modern pick — cool-on-cool, reads premium and a bit purposeful.
Moreagruen Metallic – 1 3 Series?
A BMW 3 Series IV (E46) Facelift in Moreagruen Metallic – 1, we’d run gunmetal — gunmetal is the safe genius — it works on basically any paint, warm or cool; or gloss black — gloss black is the safe-aggressive option — sharpens almost anything up.
Montreal Blue Metallic 3 Series?
A BMW 3 Series IV (E46) Facelift in Montreal Blue Metallic, we’d run silver — silver keeps a blue car clean and classic — never dates, lets the paint be the star; or gloss black — want it aggressive? gloss black hardens a blue car right up.
Techno Violet Metallic 3 Series?
A BMW 3 Series IV (E46) Facelift in Techno Violet Metallic, we’d run gloss black — gloss black is the safe-aggressive option — sharpens almost anything up; or silver — silver is the safe-classic option — never wrong, never dated.
Alpine White III , Alpinweiss III 3 Series?
A BMW 3 Series IV (E46) Facelift in Alpine White III , Alpinweiss III, we’d run gloss black — gloss black is the sharpest contrast there is — a white car on black always looks deliberate, never accidental; or bronze — bronze warms a white car right up and reads aggressive without having to shout about it.
