Since I seem to be the only person on this forum that likes the Atacama Yellow E89s produced in 2010, 2011 and 2012 I'd thought I'd document the number of transactions of this, the rarest of E89 colours..

All they need are some black TAXI decals and it’ll be a cool Uber!

I like yellow. Most "colours" are grey/black/white and, under our eternally grey skies, everything else looks arbitrarily "dark" not helped, I've decided, by mostly being metallic which do a good job of reflecting the tarmac.

Yellow is one of the few car finishes that stands out. As someone who's only had silver, violet, black, black, silver, silver I'd be all over these like a rash!

Or maybe DHL or AA?

Contrary to popular belief there are many yellow tints I don’t like…but..when the sun goes down later in the day the deep yellow sun on that colour, especially well polished is a beauty to behold..

I like Atacama Yellow. Think it should have still been available for the new Zeds

I like Atacama yellow too, but I much prefer Phoenix yellow

Another bonus of a yellow car is slightly cheaper car k insurance

The phoenix yellow seems ‘complex’ the colour / tint seems to change a lot between overcast skies and sunshine…to me looks good under darker conditions but ‘bleached’ when it’s sunny….like PG on E85s, AY was only available on E89s..and a few BMW M cars..

But it's not rare on the Forum ... it's everywhere.

I am not averse to colour, I used to have a liquid yellow Mini Cooper back in the day. When the Z4 first came out in Atacama yellow I thought it looked great but recently having seen a couple I am not so sure of this particular shade of yellow. Each to their own I guess.
