The Mayan Prophecy Comes True For My Apricot BMW.
Okay, it'll survive, but it's a bummer.

My wife was walking to the car after her yoga class, and some fellow was trying to parallel park in front of her. As she walked up, he apparently decided that there were two parking spots, not one, and decided to back into our spot.

Tell me how this happens, but somehow he ended up more or less broadsiding our car. He hit the side of the car BEHIND the driver door, right in front of the back wheel. It didn't affect anything mechanical, but now it's got a big ol' dent in it, and my bigger worry is that it scraped up the paint.

This car's paint is very unusual. BMW didn't go to market with it, so it's not a normal BMW color. It looks like some places sell touch-up paint, but will it match on a big swath of the fender? Or am I going to have to repaint the whole car? It's 12 years old, so I'd suspect that there's some fading.

I would really hate to repaint the whole car.

I'd rather see you paint an apricot like a BMW than paint a BMW like an apricot.

It's kind of odd, but BMW did something unusual with the Z3s. They produced them in several standard colors, but then they also had some other colors that were tested and sold in very small quantities, or maybe they were special orders. Apparently you could also get the car from the factory in a custom color. I don't know the whole story, so I could be misunderstanding something.

This site shows the general palette: http://www.zroadster.net/tim/colors/index.html

It shows 12 standard colors and 9 retired colors that I don't think we're standard. Then it shows 6 additional limited colors, 12 rare colors (of which apricot is one), and 12 individual colors, which may have been custom orders. They're all factory paint jobs, but range from apparently one vehicle in production up to thousands.

As an aside, I'm pretty sure that my car is the one in the apricot photos. It's got the same top and interior, and the same upgraded wheels.

It has all-season tires and an ability to gain momentum fast through the deeper drifts.

Your name is Barby and you want a pink Z3?
