Default thinking bout new paint job.. any suggestions ?

I have been wanting to get my car repainted for the longest time but have not been able to find a color that really catches my eye and is different for the scion. I have seen a lot of different colors that look good and have given me ideas but I dont want to go and get the same custom paint job as a fellow scionlifer so I want to go different. I was at lunch the other day with my girlfriend when I saw a BMW drive by and i fell in love with the paint job at first sight. the color was more like a darker brown/ bronze type of color but i cant seem to find the right one. I have tried searching around in the web to see if i can get a direct color of it but i cant seem to find it anywhere. it was darker than usual. this is the closes i have found to it. http://www.bmwusa.com/Standard/Conte...5AcWP6gukMbek=
could be this same one but im not sure. could just look better in person. tell me what you guys think. also will i have to pull my motor to paint the engine bay ?
