I have never seen this color.  Lapis blue, same color as my wedding ring.

 

I can't copy and paste the link, but it's on e-bay (1974 BMW 2002 Tii).

I always do it right the second time.

I have a 1982 323i Baur that is Lapisblau.  It is a daily driver, however, and the paint is in need of attention at some point.

This was after my first drive in 2010, so the wheels are now turbines, the bumper is gone and the signals are clear.  Oh, and my beard is perhaps showing a little more gray.   :)

I can't figure out why 02 owners go through all the trouble to remove the lower side trim but they leave the U.S. spec side marker lights on the car???  While you are there, you might as well do the rest ....   The VIN on this tii (2780668) is less than a 100 #'s less than mine, which makes the build date for this tii in early DEC 73.  I've owned numerous 02's for over the past 30 years and  I've seen my share of Atlantik, Riviera, Baikal, fjord, pastelblau, turkis,  etc.... of blue 2002 colors but Lapis blue is a new one for me.

Lapis blue is not a 2002 color, and I don't believe anyone is claiming it is.

The decal on the inner front fender well looks old and original, and says lapisblau on it.  That's all I know!

The colour decal is not correct for that period (see pic of correct one).

The car was originally Fjord, according to Ebay Seller back in 2007, and reportedly had rust in the wrong places.

Stu,

You can purchase those color stickers saying any color in the world. And this has been true for 30 years. Lapis blue did not exist during the '66-'77 "02 era".

Here is a link to a color chart showing the years the various colors were in use from the factory for the E21.  It appears that Lapisblau was introduced in 1980, and could have continued into the E30 production years, although this chart does not have that info.

 http://www.e21-board.de/wbb/index.php?page=FarbtabelleUniStandard

 

Btw, for those of us with too much time on our hands, check out this link to a fun page:

http://www.e21-board.de/wbb/index.php?page=FarbtabelleStandard

 

Just click on the various colors to change the color on the car depicted above the chart.  That page is for the standard colors;  there is also a link to the metallic colors.  Have fun!

I don't know if there is a similar page for the 2002 colors, but perhaps some clever person with the skills out there could put one together.   :)

Thank you for doing this research.

There is/was a similar page for 2002's but I believe we lost track of it when we upgraded the website.

    BMW Neue Klasse - a birth of a Sports Sedan

    Unveiling of the Neue Klasse Unveiled in 1961, BMW 1500 sedan was a revolutionary concept at the outset of the '60s. No tail fins or chrome fountains. Instead, what you got was understated and elegant, in a modern sense, exciting to drive as nearly any sports car, and yet still comfortable for four.   The elegant little sedan was an instant sensation. In the 1500, BMW not only found the long-term solution to its dire business straits but, more importantly, created an entirely new

    History of the BMW 2002 and the 02 Series

    In 1966, BMW was practically unknown in the US unless you were a touring motorcycle enthusiast or had seen an Isetta given away on a quiz show.  BMW’s sales in the US that year were just 1253 cars.  Then BMW 1600-2 came to America’s shores, tripling US sales to 4564 the following year, boosted by favorable articles in the Buff Books. Car and Driver called it “the best $2500 sedan anywhere.”  Road & Track’s road test was equally enthusiastic.  Then, BMW took a cue from American manufacturers,

    The BMW 2002 Production Run

    BMW 02 series are like the original Volkswagen Beetles in one way (besides both being German classic cars)—throughout their long production, they all essentially look alike—at least to the uninitiated:  small, boxy, rear-wheel drive, two-door sedan.  Aficionados know better.   Not only were there three other body styles—none, unfortunately, exported to the US—but there were some significant visual and mechanical changes over their eleven-year production run.   I’ve extracted t
