Green over Tan G31 530d Touring

muzzalad · 11-20-2021, 01:16 PM

Hi folks

Thought I'd share (/show off) my new Individual SanRemo Green G31 530d xDrive Touring with Cognac interior that I've just picked up from Tony Lewis at Berry Croydon (TRL deals - best prices, service and chat).

Just come from a G01 X3 on the same platform but wanted to move back to a regular car + get the colour combo I really wanted.

Chose the 530d as it makes a nice rumble for a diesel (like a Mark 1 Range Rover V8), plus has more torque than a Lamborghini Huracan and can beat a Ferrari Testarossa to 60, based on how quickly Joe Achilles got it there. Oh, and it can also do 600-700 miles on a tank (in case of a Mad Max style apocalypse scenario kicking in).

Aware this might be a bit of grandad spec for some, but got inspired by this old E34.

@ezaircon4jc - steering wheel must be down to the global parts shortages.

Thank you, on the colour!

Thanks. Seems different in different lights as well.

Beautiful car and a engine that suits the car. In Norway the 530d gets way to expensive, so I had to choose the 530e.

The 530e is fast enough, but your 530d is definitely faster.

Looking forward to more pictures of your ultimate driving machine 😎

Man I really wish I could have gotten a 2019 M550i touring years ago.

Thank you. Yeah, despite the MPG, may not be the top choice for the environment, hence the price difference with you.
Plenty of grunt in the 530e too.

Think my camera is going to be out a fair bit...

Only the 540i in the UK and Europe in the Touring. If the M550i had been available - I think I might just have forgotten about MPG figures...

Wow beautiful car and a great combo of exterior/interior colour - looks stunning. Many congratulations.

AlteBMW · 11-22-2021, 09:08 AM

I generally don't like green cars but that is a really nice green. Enjoy it.

AP · 11-22-2021, 11:03 AM

Stunning

There should be more "green" cars these days, it's a stunning colour but for some reason , it's not a colour generally offered by the manufacturers- no idea why they seem to play safe with white , black and every shade of grey in between (nothing wrong with that) but green does look rather classy

ez727 · 11-22-2021, 01:34 PM

That color combo is just awesome. Love it!

Not a political statement, but er, #makegreengreatagain

Alas, I think they just don't sell. People get nervous on residual values.
