I owned this one 7 years ago
Mystic Blue Facelift
Loved that colour
Mystic has grown on me, I used to think it was a very bland petrol blue colour, but its rare now and holds its own !!

Bought this in June
Didn't like the wheels so changed them......
Always wanted a red interior so changed that too!

Coupe I had years ago before company cars, kids, house moves, etc... 
Silverstone Blue. Absolutely loved it - could only keep it for 12 months though

Cant beat a decent contrast on the interior. The red against the silver looks great.
How long did it take you to switch out the interior ?

Less than 4 hours in total and that was with swapping over speakers, handles, trim, etc. on the door cards. Piece of cake really - hardest part was getting the door cards back on and that's not really difficult! Just make sure they've had their Weetabix before lifting the driver & passenger seats in and out!
Only downside with the red seats I bought is the lack of lumbar support, but it is in both my original black ones, so I'm going to have a go at swapping it out into the red seats over Christmas. From what I can gather, the lumbar option was pretty rare on the E46 (on the 'verts at least)

Just a shame 99.9% of them have grey interiors.
How so, most of mine where Champagne, Black and Lotus white. Had one grey.
They are about, just most appear to be keeping them.

I mean in general, 99.9% of Estoril coupes have grey interiors.
I have seen a few, and agree most for sale have the grey, I think most of the desirable colour combos are being kept hold of these days.
