Take a look here: http://users.belgacom.net/bmw_z3/bmw_z3 ... vidual.htm
The Orinoco is a dark teal green/blue and the Fiji is a spearmint green.

Have a look under the bonnet at the suspension struts, near side shows the colour, offside shows the manufacture date

yes Article Silver is extremely rare....Zedonist wrote:

Mine is Titanic Silver....
Z3 2.8 Progress Journal (Mine)
Z3 1.9 Sport Progress Journal (Wifey's)
I have an element of 'M-styling' on my car, If that's a good enough reason for the manufacturers to adorn a 320 with the M badge, then its certainly a good enough reason for me..

Re: Orinoco or Fiji ??????
Cheers for all the replies,still weird though because my Z3 is silver with black interior,black leather seats.As l stated, when l rang to insure the Z the guy said two editions are showing up,Fiji and Orinoco.so has it been sprayed,don't think so,maybe l have an even more rare edition,lol
Re: Orinoco or Fiji ??????
What colour is the metalwork inside the bonnet? If it is not a dull silver, then the car has likely been resprayed. The sticker on the front suspension strut tower may also still indicate the original colour, though these can be replaced (or faked, as I know one car that said "muchacha rosada" on the label!). More likely the ins. company database is a load of cobblers and it is just an ordinary Z3 with a free choice from the extras list.
